Well, yes, there are; there is no easy way to pass on a reference
any more. It is aggravating when you want to send somebody the URL for
one page in a big site and it is a frame on a huge page, so that the
URL gets you only to the "home frame". Also, the same thing happens
with bookmarking.
This is a real problem when you have the equivalent of 100 pages
in the form of frames.
