Hey, do you remember our discussion about ECS in WMSiteLayout being evil?
In this situation I would use MWOnlySiteLayout, that does not output any tags
that you don't need, write a layouts/frameset.wm that defines the frameset,
and screens/frameset.wm that outputs nothing. Then reference the frameset as
somehost/somecontext/Turbine/template/frameset.wm
Seem's like minimal hassle solution to me.

I agree. Frames are just ordinary html pages, and they can use all functioanlity
we developed for them. A navigation frame could contain a layout containg single
navigation module, a footer frame could contain a layout containg static html markup
(with no navigations and a dummy screen) and main frame (frames) could contain layouts
that embed the screens that provide your application's functionality.
