I'm not sure I want to encourage any use of frames, but, especially
given that frame elements can only appear in a frame document,
and body cannot appear in such documents, I think it might be better to
introduce a virtual frame element in a framed page, so that one gets:
frame body {background-color: green; color: ...}
frame body a:link {color: .....}
frame body a:....
Note, any mechanism like this needs to apply to object as well as
frames and iframes.

Checked has a specific meaning for *check* boxes; what does it mean for
other elements. How does a:checked differ from at least one of a:visited
and a:active.

No it's not. Real HTML 4.0 has a title element, not to mention quotes
round attributes containing # characters!
