By first finding necessary and sufficient conditions for the realcompact coreflection, υL, and the regular Lindelöf coreflection, λL, of a completely regular frame L to be isomorphic, we define a frame L to be almost Lindelöf if it is Lindelöf or λL → L is a one-point extension. This agrees with the condition "υL is Lindelöf and L is realcompact or υL is a one-point extension", which would be a frame version of what are called almost Lindelöf spaces. Thus, the condition "υX is Lindelöf", which is added in the definition of almost Lindelöf spaces, serves only to compensate for the lack of the regular Lindelöf reflection in Top, and can be dispensed with by concentrating on the frame OX instead of the space X.
