Don't futz around with this too much. Since this agreement is (presumably) a
legally binding document, you are only asking for trouble if you present it
in dangerously inaccessible ways like this. I suggest you simply provide a
"Printable version" link that points to a plain HTML page containing the
whole document in legible type. Don't use frames.
