Layer has a certain functionality not available with HTML / CSS which is to call an external bit of HTML and make it a part of the same document. Communicator supports some CSS extention (url-import) that does the same. Actually netscapes guide on layers shows how to do the same with CSS and admits that url-import is an experimental extention. EMBED should be deprecated in favor of OBJECT, but EMBED is currently much more widely supported than OBJECT. So it seems the guidelines would benefit from not disscussing those. On the other hand I would talk much more on CSS and IFRAME in the section on frames, as these may replace a great deal of the functions of the notorious FRAMESET FRAME alternative.
