Good point. And if someone (not me - alas) had this done it could be
generalized and incorporated into texi2html (-: which is in perl -
easy transition :-)

Again true. I am well aware of the pro's and con's of
frames and think that they are misused way to often.
See http://selfhtml.teamone.de/html/frames/layouts.htm (de)
 or http://selfhtml.selfhtml.com.fr/html/frames/misesenpage.htm (fr)
for a discussion.

But IMHO gnugo_frame.html is one of the rare examples
that justify frames: The "sidebar" provides a global
overview and a means to jump quickly between pages.
And there's always the "open link in new window" option.

I prefer to give readers a choice here.
