|  Your comment caused me to read the spec and test the combination of
| <iframe> and xhtml transitional a bit. <iframe> does not exist in my
| favourite: xhtml strict.

<iframe>, indeed can be replaced with <object type='text/html'></object>
Therefor, there is no need for <iframe> in well-written HTML/XHTML code.

Note that <embed> and <applet> are also deprecated.
Both also replaced by <object>.

I am not sure if your example is o.k.
I think correct code is:

 <iframe src="www.kde.org">
 this text would be displayed if browser doesn't support IFRAME
</iframe>.

You close <ifram> *too early*, and there is no way browser not supporting 
IFRAME can render your example.
