There is a lot of talk about the top of the page in frames
discussions. Frankly, I am not so keen to defend frames for this
but it is possible that a not very high top frame might be ok.
It is the side nav frame that can be useful and hard to match
without frames. Most monitors have more room in width and are
therefore more accommodating...
