This is scary shit. I just submitted it to slash. In the meantime here's
some prior art:
A question on how this proposal works.

E-mail from 1994:

http://wp.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2.0/relnotes/windows-2.0.html#Images
and the description is quite similar.

Netscape did release frames as functionality in their browser. Now the
