Comment 1 Andi Snow-Weaver 2009-09-11 20:46:28 UTC 
Related to bug # 7119
Comment 2 David Bolter 2010-01-12 15:59:39 UTC 
How do we resolve attributes on frame element and/vs contained document (body element?)
Comment 3 David Bolter 2010-02-16 15:37:15 UTC 
I tested what FF currently does:
http://people.mozilla.com/~dbolter/frames/

For the first frame, we expose:
internal frame, no name
  - document, name: "http://people.mozilla.com/~dbolter/frames/frame.html"
    - checkbutton, name: "checkbox label"

For the second frame we expose:
dialog, "iframe label"
  - dialog, "iframe label"
    - checkbutton, "checkbox label"

Note this is our internal representation which will get mapped accordingly to the various platform APIs.

Aaron mentions the ability to label iframe based widgets is important.

His example:
<span role="label" id="votelabel">Vote for your favorite type of dog:</span> <iframe aria-labelledby="votelabel" src="http://noodleheadsinc.com/voterwidget?options=lab,poodle,golden"/>
Comment 5 David Bolter 2010-02-16 16:37:11 UTC 
I added a third frame, and for this FF exposes:

internal frame, name: "Span label"
  - document, name: "Span label"
    - checkbutton, name: "checkbox label"

This allows accessible mashup customization.

See bug 7120. This is resolved pending review by David and Cynthia.
