Navigational aids? No. Developers typically use frames because they think
it will cut their development time. Frames break the fundmental user
conception of what a "page" is; i.e., an individual unit of
information. With frames, a single unit becomes 2 or more units in terms
of the assets that make up the page. From the user's perspective, however,
it's still just one unit of information. This leads to usability problems
as well as difficulties with history and bookmarking.
Perhaps we shoudl fix _this_ then, than rather try to just put down
frames? Frames provide for fair client-side-processed code reuse.
