It's a faux-frame, so why does the page have a frameset DOCTYPE?

I can't answer this exactly, except to say that you're abusing the 
fieldset element.  Fieldset is a structural element for forms, not a 
layout tool.  You should be using a div, which your document suggests 
that you're comfortable with.

Also, your page does not validate due to invalid charset.  Probably 
unrelated to the question at hand, but something you should take care of 
if you want to validate your markup - which is always a Good Idea.
