Hi Neil.
I'm not sure why one would want to worry about 'frames'. That's purely an implementation detail of Mozilla. If another implementation of XUL existed, it likely wouldn't have any frames. Perhaps you're really thinking of XUL boxes which are a basic building block and are accessible.
xulplanet.com mentions "frame" 47 times and "frames" 30 times.
Yes, boxes are more important, but some phenomena implemented by mozilla can be described more clearly if the frame concept (in general terms) is available to assist.
A simple example (not claiming this is accurate in every degree) is an answer to the question:
"Which XUL elements can be styled?" Rough answer: "those with a frame".
- Nigel.
