1) Frames are evil, and no longer in the spec. (Hurrah!)

2) JavaScript is similarly evil, but sometimes a necessary one.

3) Dropdown lists of links would have to be one of the more annoying space
   saving methods of providing links. Most users readily recognise an
   underlined word, or a list | of | words | between | pipes or &middot;s as
   things they can click.
