I understand "controlled environment" in standards parlance to mean that one party controls all pieces participating is a system (parties to communication in the case of protocols and formats).

As I understand it, the whole point of implementing enterprise portals using Web technologies is to enable the use of off-the-shelf client software (browsers). Would the way the off-the-shelf client software reacts to doctypes be "controlled" by the enterprise?

Would some kind of content production and ingest into portal workflow be a "controlled environment"?

What's the controlled environment here where both HTML producers and consumers are controlled by the controller?
