Obviously explained myself very poorly here. I understand that you can replicate the layout of both the java API and MSDN using divs quite easily. The one functionality that you cant seem to replicate though that both frames and iframes provide is the ability to refresh only parts of the page. If you made the java api frameless, each page download would be in the region of 500k, that reduces the usability to around zero.
I can accept frames look ugly and shouldn't be used from an aesthetic viewpoint. But I do find it quite frustrating thats theres this push to obselete them without there being some alternative (at least none that I'm aware of hence me asking).
Don't use WordArt for your logo.
Rule 2.
Don't use novelty animated GIFs and poor use of tables.

Firstly, read the documentation at w3c.
Trans vs Strict is based on 2 different DTD's. The Trans one allows for coding mistakes, some HTML 4 elements and sloppy
