Should they? A long term solution would be to encourage authors to import an image into a frame by firstly referring to the image using OBJECT, in an otherwise empty HTML document, being sure to include an appropriate textual substitute for the image in the content of OBJECT; and then pointing to the HTML document which has thus been created in the SRC attribute of the frame definition. Thus, there would be an HTML document consisting of only a title and an OBJECT element, which would offer an indirect mechanism by which the image could be imported into the frame. I agree however that a short term solution also needs to be sought.
