Works pretty well in Mozilla/Gecko last time I checked, also falls back beautifully for older browsers. Also addresses most of the problems with frames (my favourite being linking, which even IE5's state-dependant bookmarks didn't fix). Thankfully the previous proposal for frames in CSS [2] (June 96? OK *now* I feel old! I remember ranting about it on this list when it came out) was dumped, since it didn't address any of these.
