Tumer is completly right here : I just want to remind you that the 
frameworks did not exist in Koha 2.0. when I created them for 2.2, I go 
the the quickest -shame on me-, and just added a row in the structure 
tables, to select the framework.
but in real life, the only interesting values in frameworks are the tab 
& the hidden ones (+ constraints like authorities, authorized values & 
plugins) All the values related to search construction are useless. More 
(or worst) than this, they are ignored if you modify them outside from 
default framework.
If you modify a non default framework, you'll see that 1 (and only 1, we 
should have more probably) field don't appear, you get a "this is 
meaningful only for default value)

For Koha 3, we could, it's true, separate frameworks (= display & input) 
from search setup (attset ...)
