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

I think IFRAME should be absorbed into OBJECT.  They are really VERY
similar, and you could add the appropriate attributes to the OBJECT element
simply enough.  IMHO it *is* just another way to include an external data
object.

True, with IFRAME you could use tables or CSS positioning to create a
document with several frames and no FRAMESET/FRAME.
