* holds the loaded content).
* The reference to the activeFrame is a weak reference, which allows the
* frame to go away at any time, and when that happens the module considers that
* there are no active elements in that group. The group can be reactivated

* class of this module which does not automatically keep track of its state. This
* object should not be used externally, and all control should be handled by the
