Re: one HTML WG chair's opinion on bug requiring @title for FRAME & IFRAME

aloha!

i just wanted to remind y'all that as long as you create an account at 
the w3c bugzilla

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/

and as long as the bugs you want to track are publicly tracked bugs
(which HTML5 is), you can comment on bugs logged there, such as that 
which i submitted on behalf of this WG requiring @title for FRAME 
and IFRAME -- so far, HTMLWG bug 10709 has received only negative 
feedback, building on the comment quoted in my original post...

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
