The debate is really about how best to define what
a "window group" is.

One school of thought says that a "window group" is
something entirely new - a new concept.  The other 
school of thought says that "window groups" already
exist - they're called "frames".

Something like ECB's displays, if we understand
window groups as frames, would be implemented by
having multiple frames that tile a single window
system window (or that tile a text terminal display).
Right now a text terminal or a window system window
is always one frame but, with "framelets", that would
change.
