Unfortunately, the constraints mean that frames are hard to avoid:

- The pages need to be displayable on multiple mirrors and offline from 
a local copy; you can't count on server-side includes.

- Many of the pages are manually edited.

- We want some common border material.

A solution would be a content-management system that produced the HTML 
of the site from some other form of input.  Only the output HTML would 
need to be mirrored.  Care to put together such a thing, and import all 
the existing pages into it?
