If I am fine with the framing, I could allow it. But the problem there is that there is no real way to indicate this. Robots.txt doesn't do anything other than switch indexing on or off and there is no META standard. Sadly, I don't think there is a practical way to opt in or out for that matter.

Though there has been some things done to satisfy content creators, there are still many long term problems that need to be addressed before I'll be satisfied. It seems that there are still no shortage of visitors that dislike the new DiggBar, a plea to not immitate even reached number one on Reddit. There's still a lot of unanswered issues here.
