XFrames Application for Composing Documents to Replace HTML Frames.
XFrames is an XML application which "addresses the usability, search, and security problems associated with HTML frames." The specification "defines a separate XML application (not a part of XHTML per se) that allows functionality similar to HTML Frames, but with fewer usability problems, principally by making the content of the frameset visible in its URI.
The collection of frames in an XFrames document is referred to as a frameset.
