If you want to include text into an html page there has never been a good way to do it. Banner ads were first introduced because there was a wag to include an image with the <IMG> tag but there wasn't a way to include text. Today anyone who wants to include text has to either use javascript or an <iframe> tag. <iframe> tags are unwieldy because the text can't be inserted cleanly; it has to be inserted into a new box. I, for example, want to insert the current Internet Storm Status on a page, with the source being: http://isc.sans.org/infocon.txt. I have to use an <iframe>, which leaves the inserted text unaligned.
