The content of inc/foo.frg in not a complete html page but only a well
formed xhtml piece of code like :
<div>
this content is dynamically loaded into a dom node, like ajax,
but with a html extended syntax of the target property.
</div>
IMHO it isn't much better than:
<a href="inc/foo.frg" target="main_area">
<iframe name="main_area"></iframe>
It's still as evil as frames - subpages can't be used as standalone
documents (thus bookmarked, returned by search engines, etc), because they
lack proper navigation menus and in your example they're not even proper
documents.
I think that much better and more powerful solution are ID overlays. The
idea is to merge documents instead of completly including one into
another. XUL has something like that:
