Details

Wherever possible we should find or create API in layout so that we don't need to walk frames.
Layout knows frames better than we do, so let's hide details there, behind some nice API.
Summary: [meta] A11y should stop walking frames → [meta] A11y should stop using frames
Sounds scary, please rename bug on something more peaceful.

What do you mean? When we walk frames?

Ignore 'walk' - this bug should really be a meta for frame usage now I think. We should use content nodes instead.

It's not possible I think.
