Of course not. Net.Data knows nothing at all about the surrounding code. It
just picks its parts of the "soup" and removes them and sends the rest to
stdout. That's what makes it extremely powerful. I create html pages with
Net.Data in batch; i can imagine a CL companion that is able to update
files on the fly (due to the built-in SQL interface).

I try to have http://validator.w3.org saying the same for all my pages; but
i don't succeed every time...

Yes, and it's one reason for it's success and the success of php, asp and
so on.

If i have the choice between RPG with HTML inside and Net.Data _only_, i
prefer Net.Data. ;-)

Great! That surely would make a good example on Relational Web's site, too,
wouldn't it?
