Alain,
I think he's found a way to support it without slowing down the rest of
the language, which should be just fine. After all, do is used only in the
rare case where the language misses a certain feature, which means if it's
slow it's not problematic, and we have the benefit of remaining compatible.

Or those who mind the hassle to get an FTP-client fired up and upload the
files... most of those still aren't user friendly and reliable enough.

Now you're tempting me ... HTML is great for web pages, but if you receive
it via e-mail, many people get gibberish, or have to fire up a separate
program to view it. Also, most stuff can be done as effective by just
scattering a few tabs or spaces through text.
