For example, would it be more cost efficient for government to fund The HTML specification doesn't require scripting. If it did require scripting, it would have to specify both a scripting language and a set of object models, otherwise the scripting still wouldn't work as a Perl only browser would not work with a VBScript script and a Netscape JavaScript object model browser wouldn't work with a W3C DOM Level 2 object model application. (More generally, a lot of things that people think that HTML specifies are just informative hints on how a visual browser might handle a construct - there is actually no requirement that all semantics be represented to the user, and the most popular browser would be one of the "one or two" broken ones if there were such a requirement.)
