Frames have their uses. But I wonder if they should be in _HTML_. Whether to use frames or not is basically a design question, not content question. So "frames" are good, but <FRAME> is bad. In other words, Frames should be specified in style sheets. Does the [CSS Layout] specification do everything that those who use FRAME need? If not, what needs to be added?
