IIUC, yes.  Note that the order isn't (should not be) guaranteed -- you
must get the value by finding the keyword argument.  Scripts should also
be able to recover if some or all of the frames DON'T have a particular
keyword argument (e.g. might not have a :window).

Incidentally, IMO `make-frame' would be more descriptive than `frame'.
