Re: HTML4.0 draft: comments re: inclusion of frames (fwd)

Once upon a time Dave Carter shaped the electrons to say...

Tables
CSS support
Yes - scripting
Internationalization
OBJECT
Navigation keys

And several other things.

Then we disagree on the purpose of the WWW.  I have a broader vision that
simply presenting information.  And the market seems to agree with me.
I view the web as more of an API.

I think the concept of frames is a good one - I think the NS implementation
sucks.  But I also recognize that it is too far entrenched to unseat now,
unless we can get a solid framing system based on Style Sheets.
