"antiquated"?? They're a perfectly good solution to some problems;
look at JavaDocs. And for many web-based applications (dashboards,

Eh? -- the <object> tag works just fine for this, as well.
example:
<object
type="text/html"
data="some-included-content.html"
height="200px"
width="600px">
</object>
