  What I would *like* to see is a formalized way to incorporate
  script from any source. Sadly, I don't see it happening. One of
  the big bumpups for PHP is the default (in most servers) of
  mode_php, and the nonincorporations of mod_perl, mod_python etc.
  PHP had become ubiquitous in web presence, and combined with
  security openings it could turn out to be a "Cyber Pearl Harbor".
  My wife is glaring at me and pointing at the dinner tables, so
  gotta go - but let me leave you with one word - and I'll explain
  it tomorrow if folks don't get it.
