IFRAME supports targetting with the <A> element
unlike OBJECT. This allows users to click on a link
to change the contents displayed within an IFRAME.
In addition, designers are already familiar with using
IFRAME and the view in the HTML working group was that
both IFRAME and FRAMESET should be included in the
HTML 4.0 draft spec.
