Browser suggestion: local server

Guys,

I've been doing a lot of development using .shtml and server side
includes. Testing, however, is a bit of a pain: I can't really
test the includes are working until I upload all the files to my
server.

It occurs to me it would be terrific if this could be part of some
standard:

* If a browser (user agent) points to a local file, and if the filename
   ends in '.shtml', then the browser should endeavor to process any
   'include' statements in the file in the same way a server would


This would also be nice because I can put a whole website on a thumb
drive then display it to a meeting or class without having to actually
connect to the internet! Makes the site much more portable.

Is that reasonable? Desirable? How do I go about proposing such behavior?


Kind regards,
