It's not about the "bare essentials"; it's about doing things right the 
first time.  IMG was not the best way to include images, FONT was not the 
best way to specify font styles, and FRAMESET is not the best way to 
associate different HTML documents.  When I look at how long we've 
suffered with inadequate solutions like IMG and FONT, I think about what 
inadequacies we'll be suffering with years down the road.  I hope that 
FRAMESET won't be one of them.
