frame titles

I have a query on frame titles.
The checkpoint on this states

"Frames shall be titled with text that facilitates frame
identification and navigation"

This is fine and makes sense, my question is if you have an
application that is making use of hidden frames. An
application I'm working on has no choice at present but to
use these frames.

Ideally they should be hidden from screen reader users, but
still need a title to conform to the checkpoint.
Is it acceptable to give these hidden frames a title of " ".

Any suggestions would be welcome, I'd be interested in how
people are getting around this.

Thanks Kieran.
