To Appendix D authors:
XHTML 1.1 does not contain the frame/frameset/iframe elements, because
it is basically a modularized version of XHTML 1.0 Strict. Neither does
XHTML 2.0 contain anything frames-related. And the XFrames WD was not
updated since 2002.
I would not use this to argue against a requirement to use longdesc for
conformance.
If there is a need for describing the purpose of frames and their
relationship, there should be a way to do this
a) in markup languages that know the frames concept, and
b) with user agents that don't implement frame/@longdesc?
If there is no need (any more), please clarify why.
