Nope.
If you really want to use frames, just use the NOFRAMES tag to deal with all
of those browsers that can't handle them. But beware that this approach
deals only with older browsers, not with ADA "targets" using newer browsers.

Nope. But the new version 5 (still in beta) has that problem fixed.
