Re: iframes and alt attribute

Oddly enough, Jaws with FF takes the accessible name of an iframe from
the title element inside it rather then the title attribute on the
iframe tag.
I guess it can be justified by the accessible name calculation
algorithm which checks for accessible name from content before it
checks for the title attribute.
