Do you mean because it iterates only over the parameters of the selected frame? I wasn't sure exactly what it does, but it certainly omits many standard frame parameter names. I don't think whether the selected frame has a setting for a particular frame parameter ought to affect whether I can complete its name. It might also include user-defined parameters that won't be documented in Info. Perhaps it should instead iterate over an explicit list of all of the Info-documented (built-in) frame parameters. I think that is the best thing to do. Or else get that from the manual too.
