FRAMEBORDER is an acceptable attribute for <FRAME>, but not <FRAMESET>, says
the W3C HTML 4 specs.  The missing FRAMSESPACING from the specs disturbed me
at first, so I contacted the HTML Editor about it.  He gave me a prompt
reply (only a few weeks) and told me that the FRAMEBORDER attribute is for
that purpose.  But you and I know they're for different purposes , right?

See http://www.htmlcompendium.org/CCHART/SCTYP.HTM for a compatability
chart.

Conclusion.  Don't trust weblint-  it doesn't even count <OBJECT> as
acceptable HTML.  Use the HTML standards whenever possible and proprietary
extensions as a last resort.  And last, but not least, demand browser
vendors support standards in their next version.
