RE: FRAMEBORDER attribute?

I would be interested in the answer to this. I know they are nasty and I personally dont use them but why should you reload a whole page again when 1 little piece of text has changed ? 

I was not aware of any global push to move away from frames ?

Why should you move away from frames? - I thought thay were valid useful
constructs.
