yep.

Like html 4.x strict, xhtml strict doesn't understand multiple windows,
whether or not they are within a frameset.

No. This has nothing to do with CSS, either.

Scripting is your only alternative. Multiple windows/framesets exist in
the browser's dom, and scripting is the only way to interact with them when
using a strict dtd. If you can't rely on scripting alone, you will have to
resort to a transitional or frameset dtd.
