While SSI works for server based XHTML projects, they don't work for non-server projects such as eBooks that are downloaded and played on a local computer or distributed via CD/DVD-ROM. Can there be room for both SSI (XInclude?) and XFrames so that everyone can be standards compliant?

In this way, the problems of frames would be eliminated because the includes would be a part of the content itself. This would still keep the content separate from the presentation. Simply put, frames are a bad idea in many cases. User agents implement them properly, but the problem lies in the design of frames. Frames are designed to separate one page from another. Includes are designed to contain one page within the content of another, not separate them. This is why server-side includes have gained popularity.
