Well...now that you mention it...

If it were me, I'd:

~~ Use <@URL> to get the other site's page content.
~~ Parse the HTML for the text I needed.

and use either of the following to embed the content into my page:
~~ Dump the parsed text into my TAF/HTML output.
~~ Use JavaScript SRC to get the content.
~~ Use XML Databinding in MSIE to embed the content (mix some XSLT in 
there).

All without using IFRAME.

But, I thought the question was more about IFRAMEs :-)

Hope this helps. Cheers....
