Do I separate design from content, or content from design?
YOU ARE USING PHP!!!
The reason that many of us would never use a language such as PHP is that PHP is based on being embeded in a.HTML file. ASP is the same design, same problem.
If you are one dude, maintaining a few pages of one sight, and you don't have any knowledge of any other tools, then PHP might be the only tool you use for any job. If, on the other hand, you are maintaining many pages, or many sites, or have knowledge of other tools, this is a good time to start using those other tools. Perl with XML::XSL would be a good tool for a job like this, but don't expect to be seperating content from design in a language designed to be embeded into the content!

When in doubt, use perl 8-}

I remember hearing (on NPR) about a couple who published a book about some of the *not so good* things that Monsanto is doing with genetic alteration of food. They had a (large) publisher lined up for their book and, just days before the book was going to print that the publisher called them to cancel the agreement.
Monsanto had gotten word about the contents of the book and threatend a libel suit against the publisher of the book.
They kept looking around and eventually found a publisher out of Colorado (boulder?) that had a small press and was willing to be their publisher. They asked him "What kind of Insurance (for a libel suit) do you carry?" He said, "NONE, so all of your facts better be there!"
The truth is that there are not that many libel suits that suceed. At least here in the US, hardly any libel suits end up going to trail.

Libel law isn't necessairly a bad thing.
