I agree that the current syntax <INC...> etc. is confusing since it isn't
HTML. If it can't be HTML, I have no problem with the concept of
preprocessing and use of #inc or maybe it should be <--pre inc...--> so
that an SGML parser will treat it as a comment. I don't want to see the
power of <INC> disappear though. So now can we have <--pre if then else
...--> ;-)
