You seem to be missing the point - the w3.org checker needs a .dtd file
so it can check your page. You don't have to use the frameset.dtd
stored on their site - you can get it and put it on your own site then
reference it as <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
FRAMESET//EN" "frameset.dtd">. It's not some sort of ad for w3 - people
don't generally see this anyway. The w3 is actually the authority on
HTML and so if anyone talks about HTML compliance it's the w3's rules
you ought to follow.
