These days, if you're going to use CSS (which you should) you can get a frames effect, without the actual use of frames. Basically, you set the overflow property for a div to "scroll" or "auto" and you'll have what looks like a frameset.
To see this technique in action, you can check out my photo section of my website: http://brian.vallelunga.com/photos/ click on one of the albums to launch a separate photo viewer. Notice that the list of icons on the left is scrollable. Then check out the underlying XML and style sheet.

Bookmarking can be achieved by using a content "engine" which takes a page id and builds the frameset dynamically.
