Please point me to part in the >official spec where they are deprecated. http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#version-info This document states: The HTML 4.01 Strict DTD includes all elements and attributes that have not been deprecated or do not appear in frameset documents. For documents that use this DTD, use this document type declaration: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" The HTML 4.01 Transitional DTD includes everything in the strict DTD plus deprecated elements and attributes (most of which concern visual presentation). For documents that use this DTD, use this document type declaration: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD The HTML 4.01 Frameset DTD includes everything in the transitional DTD plus frames as well. For documents that use this DTD, use this document type declaration: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/conform.html#deprecated This document states: DTD fragments in element definitions come from the strict document type definition except for the elements related to frames. http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/alist.html This document allows you to filter out non-strict elements: Unfiltered: FIELDSET - Form control group FONT - Font change FORM - Interactive form FRAME - Frame FRAMESET - Frameset H1 - Level-one heading H2 - Level-two heading H3 - Level-three heading Filtered: FIELDSET - Form control group FORM - Interactive form H1 - Level-one heading H2 - Level-two heading H3 - Level-three heading I can't say for sure, but from the above, I must infer that frames are deprecated.
