The JavaScript processor has an option `keepFreeFloatingNodes` that it
sets to `true` prior to expanding a frame. Frames need a few special
rules applied during expansion in order to preserve the user's intent in
the output:

You'll see there is also an `isFrame` option there that is later used to
ensure that an error is not thrown if `@id` is used with an `object`
value instead of a `string`. This allows people to construct frames to
select something that has an `@id` property without needing to
specify its value; of course, you can also specify it like we do in the
case at hand.
