one characteristic i would attribute to frameworks is that they impose
global conventions on a project, such as where certain types of files must
reside; whether files can be placed in subdirectories, how urls must be
formed and so on.. libraries can pretty much be included anywhere and the
only conventions they impose is those that could be found in any other group
of packages / classes / functions, proprietary or otherwise.
