Shortcode Embeds Module Should Include Title Attribute on Iframe output

I noticed the Shortcode Embeds module hijacks/removes the embed_oembed_html filter which WordPress recommends to be used by themes/plugin developers looking to augment/alter the output of an oEmbed item. It would be incredible if Jetpack would utilize that filter instead of breaking/overwriting everything else that was set up to use that filter.

There’s a feature request open for this, you can track the progress of it here:

It would be great if the iframes provided by the Shortcode Embeds module included a title on each iframe as that’s something that’s required to pass Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 accessibility standards.

I’m currently using a function on the video_embed_html filter to insert a title at the end of the iframe element’s attribute list to address this, but it would be nice of this code wasn’t necessary and all iframes being output by Jetpack met these standards out of the box.

Thanks for the great plugin & modules!

Could you please submit an issue on our GitHub repo here: https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues – that’s the best place for these type of requests.
