what is the difference between HTML 4.01 Transitional versus Frameset?
Am I right to think that Frameset is a superset of Transitional, or
are there differences? If a document does not contain frames, is there
any difference between Transitional and Frameset?

Yes, I am looking at this from the point of view of validation,
specifically http://validator.w3.org/

Frameset is for frame documents only, where framedoc.html looks like:
<frameset ...>
<frame src="page.html">
<frame src="other.html">
</frameset>

Framedoc.html would use the Frameset DTD, page.html and other.html should
use Strict. New documents should use a Strict DTD.

I belive you are wrong. To avoid a link in a framed page to a extern
site loaded within your frames, you must use the target attribute and
that's not valid i Strict. So framed pages should be Transitional.
