Actually, no.  We should be encouraging people to write pages that work
even in browsers that don't support frames at all.  (The latest lynx
doesn't count in that group, as it provides links to the framed documents.)
If we encourage people to write pages in frames, and to simply provide
links to browsers that support frames in the rest of the page, then we're
encouraging them to shut out anyone who doesn't have/can't afford/can't
run/can't change to for some other reason a browser that understands frames.
