 Replying to [comment:8 swissspidy]:
 > It looks like ideally the title attribute should be something like
 "Embedded content from {site title}" and the document title should just
 consist of the post title.
 I'm afraid different screen readers do different things with iframes, it
 also looks like the behavior differs depending on the way users navigate
 content, for example if tabbing or using the arrow keys. Testing with
 Firefox + NVDA and tabbing through focusable elements the iframe title
 attribute gets read out and the document title is ignored:

 when using the arrow keys, both the iframe title attribute and the
 document title are ignored:

 As far as I can tell, IE 11 and JAWS always read out the document title
 and ignore the iframe title attribute.

 In any case, the title of the embedded post get always read out because
 it's the first thing screen readers find within the iframe.
