The HTML construct with the FRAMESET and FRAME elements is a
serious mistake that Netscape forced unto W3C even though it
doesn't fit with the design of the web.

I don't feel the least bit bad about using peoples bandwidth,
and I would be using more of their bandwidth if I didn't link
directly to the relevant resource.
The whole idea with publishing something on the web is that
people should read it. If I link to a resource I just help
the publisher getting more readers (and I would actually
expect him to think that it is nice - even though I hear that
being /.'ed can be a bit hard).

OK.
But until I see an example that demonstrates the opposite, I
will assume that deep linking always _is_ fine.
