Mar 2, 2015 at 17:45 comment added Deane Yang There is a natural identification between a tangent frame and a cotangent frame, so it's moot where you want to do it. Geometrically, it's more natural (at least for me) to work with differential forms on frames of tangent vectors.
Mar 2, 2015 at 17:14 comment added Bilateral Could this be related to using instead of the principal bundle associated to the tangent bundle, the principal bundle associated to the cotangent bundle?
Mar 2, 2015 at 17:03 comment added Bilateral That is indeed interesting Deane. I hope Robert can comment on this. In fact, I think he uses this formalism in his popular paper "Remarks on $G_{2}$-structures", if I am not mistaken.
