There was once a theoretical http-equiv directive called Content-Script-Type, but that got never implemented in any meaningful way. Browsers do not support Python or PHP (at least not exposed to the web) so this is not a problem I think. If we ever want to introduce a new scripting language to the web then is probably the right time to answer these questions. Trying to anticipate everything now is not really feasible I think. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
