Which is an issue which I had actually been considering. In that respect,
I had been looking at a scheme which extended the idea of server side
includes as implemented by Apache. In order to accomodate servlet or Bean
type access to back end services, was considering using <servlet> tag
and for Python script require stuff to be in <script> tag, much like
server side Visual Basic. By sticking to such tags and commands in the
comments as in SSI, figured that most graphical HTML editors would still
be useable.

Of course, I personally don't like the graphical HTML editors anyway.
I would wince when I had to use FrontPage as it would never quite do what
I wanted. At the moment I have a preference for using PHP and good old "vi".
I guess I have to consider what the prospective users of my software would
want to use. Being realistic, I would imagine most may want to stay clear
of graphical HTML editors, but then in a corporate setting, individuals
opinions don't always count. :-(
