Paul, I don't entirely agree that the SSI is irrelevant to standards. I use XHTML Strict, and if my markup in the SSI file contains a deprecated property then it won't validate. Yes, the server needs to be configured to interpret the SSI file, and it's similar to PHP in that he code is parsed by the webserver, but the markup needs to valid and well-formed.
