Hi, I read that XHTML 1.1 and 2.0 do not support framesets! How can I request that this oversight be addressed? Just as CSS helps separate style from content, framesets further help separate redundant navigation from content. This separation provides a lot of development flexibility, and lightens the networks load. Plus, it is my experience based on testing that they are in keeping with the spirit of the web standards. I've tested my framesets with the accessibility reader JAWS and they work perfectly. Frames have a bad reputation because of the funky ways that people have used them, but you wouldn't take away good developers tools just because other people used the same tools to make something funky. Framesets used properly are a great tool, and have none of the problems that poor implementation has given them an unjustified reputation for. I'm not asking that the frameset standards be improved on in any way, thought I have suggestions. I'm just asking that they be kept in the standards, so that all the browsers will continue to support them for developers like me who know how to use them properly. Sincerely, Corl DeLuna
