           Summary: False warning: <noframes> is not allowed inside
                    <frameset>
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.2)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.htm
                    l
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Frames
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

On this page: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.html
Web Inspector in Safari 5.0 (5533.16) and Chrome 6.0.(495.0 dev) both show this error:

<noframes> is not allowed inside <frameset>.  content ignored.

This is the relevant HTML on index.html:
--------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd"> 

<FRAMESET cols="20%,80%" title="" onLoad="top.loadFrames()"> 
  <FRAMESET rows="30%,70%" title="" onLoad="top.loadFrames()"> 
    <FRAME src="overview-frame.html" name="packageListFrame" title="All Packages"> 
    <FRAME src="allclasses-frame.html" name="packageFrame" title="All classes and interfaces (except non-static nested types)"> 
  </FRAMESET> 
  <FRAME src="overview-summary.html" name="classFrame" title="Package, class and interface descriptions" scrolling="yes"> 
  <NOFRAMES> 
      This client does not support frames
  </NOFRAMES> 
</FRAMESET> 
--------------------------------------

This HTML seems to conform to the spec, quoted as follows
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html

The NOFRAMES element is part of both the transitional and frameset DTDs. In a document that uses the frameset DTD, NOFRAMES may be used at the end of the FRAMESET section of the document.

<FRAMESET cols="50%, 50%">
   <FRAME src="main.html">
   <FRAME src="table_of_contents.html">
   <NOFRAMES>
   </NOFRAMES>
</FRAMESET>

I suspect this is a WebKit bug.  

Others have run across the same problem:
