No, because HTML3.2 doesn't contain some very common things, like
frames.

It doesn't matter who the response was from (I don't remember the
name).  The response was wrong.

You misunderstand.  I wasn't arguing any particular (mis)feature of
sh-script.el, just the wrong answer to a question.  The question "how
do I program csh/cobol/frames in XEmacs" must not be answered with
"use sh / use vi / load god-knows-which dtd".  That, and only that
was my point.
