I agree. I'm probably the world's #1 frames hater.  After suffering
through developing a project at work where the customer insisted on
frames, I finally talked my boss into talking the customer into dumping
the frames.  Now it's SOOOOOO much nicer!  Just wish they would have
been enlightened from the start so I wouldn't have had to go through
JavaScript hell.

But XUL is more like an app platform than a web browser.  Sort of like
Java, except I'm betting it will be more lightweight and probably less
crash-prone.

I said that it would provide the single advantage of frames -- and that
is, it would allow a window for the content, having the navigation
separate.  But the navigation is NOT in another part of the content
window, but a part of the UI, thereby avoiding the bad things about
frames.
