I'm not sure this is such a good idea. iframes in particular are often 
used as part of the UI of a page in a "transparent" way - there's some 
controls in it that are part of the tab cycle, but the user is generally 
not made aware of the fact that there even is a subframe. In such a case, 
it seems like there is no specific need to give a description of the 
iframe. As for the <frame> element (as opposed to <iframe>), it is not 
conforming in HTML5, so it doesn't make sense to have authoring 
requirements for it.
