There's no "secret" that the only place you use frames is in the HTML 4.0 Frameset doctype. Nor is there any stated intent in HTML 4.0 to say that frames should be "avoided". Again, choices that are made in a next generation spec twice removed from some other spec, can't reasonably be expected to be reflected in that older spec.
