RE: HTTP Server's jobs for CGI applications

[Leslie Russell <leslier@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Richard,
Eventually yes, because Hans' html authoring philosophy isn't Hans' 
philosophy it is that of a standards body who are working to enforce good 
html coding practises on the industry. But until the XHTML document 
reaches a level of maturity beyond its current stage (one which finds 
authoring tools generating valid XHTML) there is just no better way to do 
some of the things you can do with the triumvirate of html, java script, 
and cookies.
