This enhancement request is perhaps best described by an example:-

Currently as at OOo 2.0.2, when a frame is placed in a page and set to wrap
"through" and background transparency 100%, it applies as expected to the
"underlying" page text. If a new frame is placed within the existing frame, and
it's wrap is set to other than "through", and transparency 0%, these attributes
are not honoured by the page text. I.e. the "underlying" page text can still be
seen beneath and flowing through the new opaque frame. The new frame attibutes
are, however, honoured by any text inside the parent frame.

This is a request to extend the application of frame attributes through all
relevant levels of nexting. I.e. in the example above, the page text would flow
through the parent frame and remain visible but would then flow around the inner
frame.

In this particular example, the desired effect could be achieved by not placing
the second frame inside the first. However, the ability to group frames within a
parent frame for other purposes is sometimes required, and this is where the
current limited application of nested frame attributes sometimes conflicts with
layout goals.
