+CHTML works by transforming static HTML documents residing on the server into
+dynamic HTML documents that are actually seen by the user. This is similar to
+but different from server-side-include (e.g. shtml) or web-sql/gsql mechanisms
+in that it:
+
+ * avoids embedding into HTML the kinds of directives which only
+ programmers would be comfortable with.
+ * avoids overly extending HTML semantics in a way that prevents the
+ documents from being edited by wysiwyg tools.
+ * only uses templates that are complete and valid stand-alone HTML
+ documents. Therefore the documents can be verified as to HTML
+ level conformance independently from running the scripts that use them.
