Re: A proposal for addition to HTML 3.0: Frames

Not to mention nifty processing.  HTML 3 should be able to deal with it like:

<DIV CLASS=FRAME>
<FIG REL=EMBED HREF=&uri; > 
</DIV>

With the behavior of CLASS=FRAME defined with the style information.  Perhaps 
the W3C could maintain a library of definitions of well-known base styles, such 
as FRAME, which could be implemented to a base level by the UA vendor and 
customized using the style mechanism.

Makes you wonder what they're thinking down in Mtn. View:

1.  Alleged adherence to standards process is only for marketing purposes.
2.  Send marketing guy to standards process with oblique reference to 
    published fait accompli.
