- Not really. The DefaultEmbeddedFrameViewType is used for different
- dialogs like the Paste As dialog. You are creating your embedded frames
- by calling Embed(..). You can pass whatever view type you want. The only
- time ODF creates embedded frames for you is for example when your frame
- is opened in its own window. At this time ODF creates all the necessary
- new embedded frames in the secondary window but uses the viewtype of the
- original embedded frame.

- RequestSiblingFrame is for an embedded frame requesting its container for
- another display frame. A container cannot call that to get another frame
- for an embedded frame. If you want another frame for an embedded frame
- simply call Embed().
