+1 (frames are outdated)

+1 but not very important

-1

-1 (i'm not sure, which other default output you don't like... there is  
really not much...)

-1 because constants are - when used - required for setup. Means: you have  
to add first the constant and then use it in setup. If done like you  
suggest, setup would have to be the first field in the form, which pobably  
would not increase usability.

----1 You can remove it easily in your own extensions. I want to be able  
to style extensions depending on that div, and I pretty often need that  
(complex layouts)

what do you mean? Do nothing before saving to the database or do nothing  
before outputting in the frontend? I disagree with the last, because i  
like that in textarea fields ppl can add things like <link  
132>slfjsdl</link> and the output is transformed to a correct link.
If you need your HTML-Output use the HTML-Content Element, not the RTE.
