Please stop the Iframining trend!
Digg, has gotten major press over their new Digg-bar. If it was to get press or not, the fact is that framing websites is bad, unless the user has specified otherwise. I also think there should be a rule (maybe even a law!) having a 'close' or 'remove' button. Digg, at least gets that one right. In overal I-framing deprives the linked site from better-ranking and it also confuses users. Make a stand, stop visiting sites who Iframe content.
Let's have some examples:
Good:

Bad:
Framed: http://digg.com/d1oij4

Really bad (no close button):
