Yes, and more than a few of those seem to think they're defending their
virgin sister against a potential rapist, rather than discussing
languages and applications and potentialities.

Inertia is powerful stuff.

We have different views here, from what I can tell; you seem to view
HTML as the objective with PHP as a relatively minor facilitator, while
I view the overall "web application" (which every website is, if you
look at it from that pov) as the objective and HTML as an interface
language to be used by the application implementation... more ideally I
see HTML as one possible interface language used by a higher-level
application whose logic applies equally whether it is a web-based or
local implementation.

I could complain about PHP's inconsistencies for a long time, but I'd
prefer to use the time more usefully.

I think we may be working with different meanings for the word "script".
