The HTML 4 spec should mention that frames and <A target> are deprecated. Errata, perhaps? Frame markup isn't in the HTML 4 Strict DTD, and frames are gone from the XHTML 1.1 WD. But it shouldn't be a secret.

Hmm. It depends on what you mean by "meaningful". I guess you could say that it has a behavioral meaning, for browsers on big screens that have windows, anyway. User-hostile [1], but meaningful.
