Comment (by swissspidy):

 > Besides, only blind people see the title attribute. They should know
 that it's an embedded content from external site.

 The screenreader will tell the user that they're interacting with an
 iframe.

 For example, this is the result by using VoiceOver on OS X:

 > 1 Item Interact with {iframe title attribute}, group, {document title},
 frame

 Without the patch, this will be:

 > Interact with Embedded WordPress Post, group, Lorem ipsum – My Awesome
 Blog, frame

 With the patch, there will obviously be duplicated information (post title
 and site title read twice).

 I also tested it using the ChromeVox browser extension, which reads
 "Embedded WordPress Post" and then "Lorem ipsum – My Awesome Blog" when I
 select the iframe.

 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. VoiceOver would turn it into:

 > Interact with Embedded Content from My Awesome Blog, group, Lorem ipsum,
 frame

 Obviously I am not an a11y expert and we can only make some guesses
 without having some actual feedback from the accessibility team.
