eg http://www.xulplanet.com/tutorials/xultu/splitter.html, para2.
There are no HTML <frameset> style frames in XUL except <iframe>; you've naturally chosen frame as a useful concept to describe what's going on with <splitter>.
This "frame" has nothing to do with layout frames....
I'm not saying it does; I'm just saying this concept has emerged naturally in a teaching discourse about XUL. If it's not imported from HTML or confused with XUL's <iframe>, then it must be a worthy observation about implementation.
I understood from the tree-like internals of layout that frames can be indicated by leaf or by subtree internal nodes of that structure. Does that mean that "frame-like" layout items do not need to be atomic? My point.
I agree entirely, but occassionally (eg trees) it's also worth asking: "what's a box made of?".
More boxes, as it happens.
Ok, bad example. CSS's list-style-image or :first-letter concepts are better examples.
