Should inert iframes with focusable content fail? [akn7bn]

[WilcoFiers]

This related to the Iframe Iframe with interactive elements is not excluded from tab-order rule. It indicates that iframes with negative tabindex are a problem, but there's now another way to disable focus on iframe, by using inert.

I don't think iframes with inert should fail this rule, but I'd like other's opinion about that.

I agree; if the author consciously set the inert attribute to an iframe we should (?) assume that the intent is to prevent users navigating the iframe.

Side note: it's interesting how, setting the inert property to the iframe, it:

• allows mouse users to scroll and perceive visually the content of the iframe
• prevents keyboard and AT (such as screen readers) users to perceive the content of the iframe

setting instead the inert property to the body inside the iframe, it:

• allows mouse users to scroll and perceive visually the content of the iframe
• allows keyboard users to scroll using up/down arrows and perceive visually the content of the iframe
• prevents AT (such as screen readers) users to perceive the content of the iframe

Initial discussion in the CG call. To be continued in the next meeting

Update the applicability to exclude inert iframes and create our definition of inert, that includes the inter attribute and content outside a modal
