The correct design (and web standards that are adhered to or not) is that design for which the client is paying. Web designers should offer suggestions and guidance to those who hire them for their expertise, but the decision to follow or disregard standards is up to the person footing the bill.
A standard could be imposed on all concerned that would make driving accessible to the blind...it certainly is technically possible...however, the cost is simply too high to make that a reality. Likewise, site owners may be under time and monetary restraints that prohibit making their websites accessible to all. Or they may just choose not to...again, it's the boss's choice, not the designer's.

My justification for wanting to do this is simple, and in my eyes, very sensible. However, it will no doubt cause ructions amongst the evangelists. I want to use frames. Frames, contrary to popular myth, are not an accessibility nightmare. The simple 2-frame frameset I have made validates perfectly, and passes the WCAG priority 3 test. We could argue about 'best practice' but that's not what we are here for. My thinking on this is that I've put a red 'home' link to the frameset on the top of every page that appears in the main frame, so that if I could 'add to favorites' the same way, a user can save the page and return to it later AND get back to the main frameset with one click. Hence, one of the valid criticisms of using frames is shot dead.
