3. To be able to use them in other sub-window-views that represent  
documents, like tabs in a notebook view.

Whilst I think that the whole MDI thing should be a property of a  
window not requiring a separate class, I can see that there may  
indeed be many other windows (that aren't top level windows) which  
should represent documents, and should therefore be able to represent  
the "dirty" state of the document in the appropriate way for that  
window in that system.

For me DocumentFrame being between wxFrame and wxDocChildFrame would  
make a lot of sense - refer to the previous comment about MDI being a  
property of a window rather than a class.


My two cents.

Cheers,
Matt
