Have I missed something or is this just, erm, frames using javascript

I'm not sure I understand your question.
Isn't what the OP is looking for? Being able to link to *and* frame
other
web sites?
The OP asked if there is a web standards and CSS way to maintain his
clients branding for remote sites, and while recognising that frames
will achieve this wondered if there is an alternative.
Frames do form part of HTML so, provided they validate, then that is
standards design. There is no way to brand a remote site without frames
or without having the branding served by the remote site e.g. via the
refer header, or some such mechanism.
The thread has moved on to suggest alternatives to frames in their
entirety given the usability issues of frames, and the ethical issues
around framing content which owned by a third party. The alternatives
revolve around some variation of linking to the site.
You solution is (from my cursory look) a script driven frames
implementation, as opposed to a static file based one, and I questioned
it because it didn't seem to add anything at this point and usually
your contributions are both excellent and timely.
kind regards
Terrence Wood.
