-ms lends itself to parsing nicely. I wrote something called webroff
(in perl) that took ms input and spit out a website. In the early
days of BitMover, our commercial website was done that way.
Webroff generated a sit map and did each .NH as its own page but
also generated a page for each .NH 1 as well as the entire site
as one page. That last one proved useful, I did many sales calls
where the guy I was talking to had our whole website printed out.

Couldn't possibly agree more.
