To put it another way, I believe that frames should be avoided in all situations *except* the building of online applications. If one wants to build an online email app for instance, surely the use of frames is still valid (in the colloquial rather than the code sense)?
But if I were to build that online application, with a left and right frame, and I wanted to make my links in the left frame targe the right frame, they couldn't ever be valid [X]HTML strict.
My thought was that there should be a strict DTD which still allows targets, for use in these contexts, but there doesn't seem to be. What am I missing? Do web standards simply forbid frames outright?
