The Access Board guidance regarding FRAMES does not mention NOFRAMES, only
titles.

See http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/guide/1194.22.htm#(i)

Lynx on Linux is not mentioned as the basic accessible system either.

Wouldn't it be less expensive to fix Lynx's current inability to support
the complete HTML standard that to ask the many web developers to provide a
noframes version?

Of course that wouldn't fix all the other non-accessibility problems with
frames <frown>
