I think that both server side include and powerful HTML generation/editing would be useful. The latter is useful in a couple of cases that I am interested in. First, I think that for really dynamic HTML generation the server side include mechanism will be unwieldy, i.e. it is the wrong abstraction for cases where the majority of the HTML is dynamic. You really want a more procedural approach. Secondly, there are cases where you want to take existing HTML (not under your control), parse it and change it in various ways. In that scenario I would ideally like to parse the HTML into an editable tree form and then generate HTML from that. This is a genuine need for me. -Mark
