Yes, that's really true.  But I think I actually want *the same*
programming environment for each, really; I think what I really want
is for the distinction between "form" and "content" to be a completely
human-decided distinction.

Actually, for niceness of environment, what I really like is
HTML::Mason, but I hear it takes some, um, care, to make busy sites
not beat the CPU to death, and it's not really very friendly to a
virtual-server environment.
