That's fair enough. Any further change to this should probably wait until after 1.8 is released anyway! But as you mentioned in the paragraph I snipped, this is complicated by the fact that information about whether or not the current URL comes from a FRAMESET is not stored. I agree that there should be some limit to cope with bogus external input. If it was changed to allow more than one level of FRAMESET nesting for page-requisite completion, this should either be some fixed small number (how many levels of FRAMESET nesting could a reasonable web-site actually use?!) or configurable.
