All versions of HTML below 4.  HTML 4 Strict, HTML 4.01 Strict,
XHTML 1.0 Strict, XHTML 1.1.  So, no STRICT DTDs support frames.

Frames, as currently implemented, appear in only HTML 4 Transitional,
HTML 4.01 Transitional, and XHTML 1.0 Transitional.  The Frameset 
DTDs are small wrappers round the Transitional DTDs that set a
flag requiring a frameset, rather than a body, immediately after
the head.  The Transitional DTDs are the only ones that define
the target attribute.
