Why's that stupid?  It's the only way to make sure a web page 
gets its own URL.  A bad (and lazy) implementation of frames
would be where the URL is the same for every page in a site.

I used exactly this approach on the OED Online tour, which has
just 31 tour steps but is made up of about 230 web pages
