	[DJW:]  You've still got the problem of local copies 
	of the page, but more importantly, it is almost 
	impossible to get people to use <noframes> properly,
	but even fewer content authors are aware about 
	content negotiation, and many are using cheap web space
	where content negotiation is not available.

	The result of a distinction in the header would be
	95% of frames pages being mislabelled in the HTTP headers!

	Note that a valid frames page can be identified based on
	the very first line, but again, it is rare for frames authors
	to put in a valid DOCTYPE (those with valid DOCTYPES probably
	avoid frames!).

	Isn't HTTP off topic?
