Valid XHTML?

G'day

Is there anyone on this list who has some input into the W3C?

I am really frustrated by the standard/recommendation  - trying to set up my
site in 100% valid xhtml.  Now, my site uses frames and I want them to be
invisible.  Using frameborder="0" has no effect in the major browsers
(IE4/5.5, NN4.xx, Opera 5 and AOL 6).  Only Opera 4 did what I wanted, in
valid xhtml.  Using css to hide the borders had no effect in any of them.

Using border="0", which is not defined in the standard, does what I want it
to, in ALL browsers I tested.  To me that means it is in fact a standard.

Anyone have a workaround?   Or is there someone who can explain why it is
not included in the standard when it is so obvious that it has become a
standard?
