Just a guess: mit-scheme pages seem to allow (partial) validation
without expanding the SSIs; on the other hand, the current boilerplate
hides more common details in the includes, which is an advantage when
the pages are edited manually.

As a side note, I noticed that mit-scheme pages link to W3C
validators like
<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer";>...</a>; although
those validators are free software, using W3C server to run them
constitutes a SaaSS; probably we shouldn't point to them this way.

Thank you!
