NIR Dagan:
People with small monitors may prefer a no-frames website.
They may very well want to see colors. These can be inserted in a frameset
document validly only via stylesheets.
There is also an
interesting discusion on FRAMES in w3c-wai-ig (accessibility intereset group)
about how visually impaired read or may read sites with frames.
Many visually impared use "regular" browsers with a screen reader that
translates it to speech. So NOFRAMES is not just a backward compatibility
feature.
Best,
Nir Dagan.
