Netscape 2.0 included frames, yes.

Why is it odd? Netscape 2.0 included frames, but Netscape 2.0 was
not HTML 3.2 compliant.

I thought you said you designed for HTML 3.2?
In any case, designing for "browser compatability" instead of
W3C compliance is a real bad idea in the long run, as (a) it's
very short-sighted, and (b) you're always hitting a moving
target.
I urge everyone to learn the HTML standards and use them.
