[TYPO3-content-rendering] RFC: Let's discuss the "default frame" in 4.3

[Marcus 'biesior' Biesioroff]

According to this bug [1] (in fact it's not a bug) I realized, that 
there are some changes in section_frame behaviour. Now, if type of frame 
is not selected it is considered as a frame with csc-default class:

[1] http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=11316

The problem is that now "no frame" state doesn't exists at all, cause 
every positions wraps CE's into something, so if somebody wants to build 
non-standard wrapping using HTML CE he CAN NOT do it. (which is 
described in the bug [1])

sample:

   CE1 (HTML): <div class="mySpecialWrap>
   CE2 (TEXT): textpic CE
   CE3 (HTML): </div>

every CE will be wrapped in <div class="csc-default>|</div> and whole 
construction will be invalid.

sample:

   <div class="csc-default>
     <div class="mySpecialWrap>
   </div> <!-- browser threaded end of this wrap as the end of the 
div.mySpecialWrap-->

   <div class="csc-default>
     ... some textpic CE
   </div>

   <div class="csc-default>
     </div>
   </div>

Of course this behaviour can be fixed by creating this absent type of 
frame (no frame):

1. create new frame in TSconfig of the rootpage:

   TCEFORM.tt_content.section_frame.addItems.22 = NO frame!

2. Add modified type to CSC in main TS template w/out any wrap:

   tt_content.stdWrap.innerWrap.cObject.22 =< 
tt_content.stdWrap.innerWrap.cObject

3. Set CE's frame type to "NO Frame!" (type 22)

And in general it works. However I wonder if csc-default wrap is 
necessary at all... There was a discussion few years ago on the same 
list, and the same topic:

[2] 
http://support.typo3.org/projects/content-rendering/m/typo3-content-rendering-rfc-default-wrap-for-each-ce-section-frame-246183/p/4/

and conclusion was that should stay without any wraps if no frame is 
selected.

On the other hand I understand that CSC's authors had some idea changing 
this, so maybe solution would be just adding this "No frame" option to 
the list of the standard frames in future versions?

What is your opinion?

My vote is +1 for new "NO frame!" type. (it can be selected later as 
default via TSConfig) and it's just absent element (at least in 4.3 CSC)
