As I found out today, there is either a bug (is what I was told may be the case) or just some extra criteria to allow a LUA created GUI frame to use an OnUpdate handler so keep that in mind when picking between XML and LUA.

My personal preference is to do it all in LUA being brought over from WoW modding.
