It does? Really...where does it say that? (note HTML 3.2 attempted to do that, as stated in the specs: The efforts of the World Wide Web Consortium's HTML Working Group to codify common practice in 1996 resulted in HTML 3.2 ) >Are you seeking to enforce the legitimacy of frames just because the W3C >didn't create a separate HTML 3.3 standard recognizing frames before >establishing HTML 4.0? "enforce the legitimacy"? Frames are there. There's no "legitimacy" to enforce or prove fraudulent. Don't like them? Use HTML 4.0 Transitional or Strict. That said, it still has no bearing on whether or not XHTML 1.1, a next generation spec twice removed from HTML 4.0(1) should or should not contain Frames in it's core.
