There are a couple besides the call to the CGI script [Rev engine] on  
the OnRev server.
If I get some client work done tonight, I will finish my pages that  
illustrate some tricks.
Otherwise it will be tomorrow night.
I need to use these tricks for my client, but other work needs to be  
done for tomorrow... so for sure by Wed morning.

Not by web access standards.  This kind of access is actually the  
backbone of browser success.  Your browser does a mash-up of a variety  
of technologies and resources in the same web page (between the <html>  
bunches of stuff </html>  tags ).

You should look behind the scenes of a simple WordPress blog.. tons of  
PHP function calls and combined resources.

more later.
