I am no expert but my guess is yes it is an earlier technology and yes CF
certainly does it easier. The other issue with using SSI commands is
webserver compatibility. If you are using IIS, a number of the SSI
commandslisted are not supported. If you read carefully at the link you
refer to http://www.carleton.ca/~dmcfet/html/ssi3.html, it says that the
explained commands are for a particular webserver (Webquest). Each
webserver could potentially implement different commands. Finding
documentation on what webserver supports what commands is a real headache.
