I agree to an extent, Paul. In fact this is what GNU Paperclips
weblook is about.

They can be usefull sometimes:
- when you don't really care about the seperation issue
- you *need* to generate HTML inside the servlet and you need this to
be obvious (ECS is brilliant at that)
- you are just knocking something up
The biggest problem with these things is performance. Servlets don't
do well in environments where lots of objects are being created.
Coming soon on the Tapsell-Ferrier Limited website will be some JMeter
made figures to illustrate this.
