So where is this <?php syntax defined?  Is it part of HTML, is it a
bodge added by apache or what is it?  That's really what I was asking,
I (sort of) know the difference between server side and client side
stuff (I think I did even say something about <SCRIPT> being client
side) and <SCRIPT> is at least 'proper' HTML.
