No, it means that W3C people spent a long, long time doing formal discussions about the future of this markup language. If they trash frames from XHTML 1.1 (frames do exist in XHTML 1.0), you shouldn't hope that you could have any influence on that because there are "good" reasons to do so. W3C allows people to discuss standards before they become recommandations, not to create them. If W3C decided to trash frames, never imagine you can change that. If authors use frames, then usual browsers will continue to implement them, and that's all. By the way, it is possible to avoid reload a page by using an OBJECT element combinating with CSS (presently it's not very well implemented so IFRAME can be used for training, although it's a deprecated element).
