I don't see any need for these interfaces to inherit from nsISupports.
They could probably be changed nsAFrame and nsAView (and could continue to
have a QueryInterface method) without too much work, although (based on a
discussion I had with hyatt about this) there would be some issues with
frames that implement interfaces that are expected to be refcounted (which
they shouldn't be doing).
