However, a .php file is not an HTML file with PHP inside. It's a PHP program with pieces of HTML source in special string literal and echo function syntactic sugar inside the PHP program.

If editing PHP programs were considered to be within the charter if this WG, I'd expect those who have previously objected to e.g. <canvas> being within charter to object even more forcefully now. :-)
