On one hand it's just for keeping the layout consistent (which means, there
shouldn't be another <STYLE>-Tag in). On the other hand, a <META
http-equiv="REDIRECT... -Tag wouldn't be nice in a portal anyway ...

Every "scrubbing"-feature can be turned of for any page you want to include
in the portal. (The only thing that can't be switched is the automatic
opening/closing of missing tags ... so that a included "</table>" without
corresponding "<table>" wouldn't mess up with your layout.

It's mainly, because (at least here, I don't know about the rest of the
world yet ;) ) some pages will be maintained by independent
people/departments where you cannot force them to use anything but the
corporate/departmental standard tool for website-design (which is in our
case f.e. FrontPage). I nevertheless want to integrate some information from
their pages in a portal.

It was mainly because on one hand three people (including me) already
started developing something like this and on the other hand, I needed it
for said integration of already exisiting information on different project's
pages which are maintained seperately.
