I'm not convinced frames would be the best technical solution, since
they have to be handled by window managers. And that invites headaches,
not least when you add things like tiling window managers into the mix.

was done well.

Agreed. Top positioning might be better for other reasons though.
But I suppose this is all academic until Someone™ writes some code.
