Hmm, interesting observation.
Is there a reason why there must be only a single top-level <row> or
<column>?
I could easily imagine:
<column>
<frame/>
<colulmn>
<column>
<frame/>
</column>
This would be both consistent with table notation and more familiar.

Let me see if I have this correct:
1. To place two documents next to each other, you specify
OLD WAY (framesets) NEW WAY (XFrames)
<frameset cols="50%,*"> <row>
<frame /> <frame />
<frame /> <frame />
</frameset> </row>
2. To put two documents one above the other, you specify
OLD WAY (framesets) NEW WAY (XFrames)
<frameset rows="50%,*"> <column>
<frame /> <frame />
<frame /> <frame />
</frameset> </column>
Out of habit, I have gotten used to seeing two frames next
to each other as two columns; now it is one row with two frames.
I have gotten used to seeing two frames above one another as
two separate rows; now it is a column with two frames in it.
I realize that this now makes things more consistent with table notation,
but you think this will confuse anyone else, or even bother them for more
than a millisecond?
