Whatcha makin'? :) I don't know what Tech Lover was thinking about, but it's not hard for me to imagine a reason for knowing in advance whether a page has frames. Or, more exactly, whether an HTML document is a frameset document or a normal document. This _could_ be handled using parameters to the text/html media type if parameters were allowed there. In fact, if frames had been introduced to HTML in a sensible way, then it would have been done so that selection between a normal (noframes) version and a frameset version of a page would be based on content negotiation instead of <noframes> things. -- Yucca, http://www.hut.fi/u/jkorpela/ or http://yucca.hut.fi/yucca.html
