While I respect you ability to call something as you see it, please do not insult me by claiming that my reinterpretation of one term invalidates my expertise. In an era of languages that do not directly translate into machine code, but rather into something that is used by the platform, many things can be programming languages. It doesn't have to be procedural or object-oriented to count. How is HTML different than VB in how it tells the platform it runs on to render certain UI elements? Web browsers have been claiming platform status since Netscape 4. It seems to me that rather than try an understand why I would call it such a thing, you sought instead to find ways to invalidate my opinion.
