 When entering the Editor, screen readers announce the title attribute set
 on the Editor iframe. Iframes must always have a title attribute to give
 context to users. By the way, the current title text is always the same,
 regardless of the platform:

 > Rich Text Area. Press Alt-Shift-H for help

 While Alt-Shift-H perfectly works on Windows, on a Mac the keyboard
 shortcut is different and it's Control-Alt-H. Mac and VoiceOver users will
 still ear "Alt-Shift-H" though.

 It would be great to use a different iframe title attribute depending on
 the used platform. Maybe also changing it on the fly with JavaScript could
 work (would need some testing).
