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

Why this is important: Untitled frames cannot be navigated by assistive technology, leaving some visitors unable to reach major portions of the page content. Some assistive technologies might not support frames at all, and it is almost impossible to provide truly equivalent content with the <noframes> element. For these reasons and many others, the use of frames is deprecated by the W3C in favor of element positioning with style sheets.
