Both <frameset> and <iframe> are a source of several issues.
Everything that can be achieved with <frameset> can be done through
<table>+<iframe>.
What'd be the point of keeping two sources of issues when one can be
enough to cover all use-cases?
Since <iframe> can handle all the use-cases for <frameset>, and some
that <frameset> just can't, it's obvious which one to drop.
