The problem with <iframe> is that you cannot link to the result of following links in iframes, so iframe using documents can't be first class members of the web (where the web means links between pages, not, as popularly misunderstood, links between routers). I was suprised to discover that some extremely heavily used presentational elements and attributes have been removed. I'd like to develop on that as a contradiction to the design aim to work well in tbe real world, but I haven't time at the moment.
