[dba-Tech] HTML 5, emerging new W3C standard

Frames will work if the content is from the original site or if the site is
a 'trusted' site. The whole concern thing about frames was originally due to
some coding errors in the original JavaScript that would allow a Framed site
to take over the current host. That can not happen any more as all browsers
have been fixed. The last time that could happen was back in the '90s. 

...But some perceptions persist.

W3C seems to have been taken over by religionists. Frames are "bad". 
CSS2 is "good". Like coding religionists of bygone years telling us that 
dynamically typed languages were "bad", only O-O code was "good", &c.

<rant>Web languages are for everyone, not just for Asperger geeks who 
don't get out enough.</rant>
