Sorry, I for one strongly desire seeing Frames as part of the standard.
In visiting sites that have implimented them, I've found the sites more user
friendly than any other sites I have seen.  It is especially useful for
product information - having an image static in one and generating data in
another window, or for indices ot tables of contents for online documenation.
A search engine interface in one and the results in another.

A damn better solution than having to bounce back and forth between pages.

I'm holding off on inplimenting them for Livingston until some kinks are
worked out - and when I do I will do my best to grandfather older browsers - 
but with Netscape having the user base it does, and MS's recent statement
that they will make IE a complete superset of NS, as time passes I expect 
Frames to be a de facto standard if not a W3C spec.

If you have better solutions to provide the functionality of frames, I'd
love to hear it.
