What is the worth of HTML source anyway? I mean, make a page available
on the Web, and a million web developers could exactly duplicate the
look and behaviour of the page without ever seeing the code. Indeed, if
I was going to 'borrow' somebody's design, I would avoid reusing the
original code in favour of deliberately re-coding the page myself,
because then it would be in my coding style and I'd understand it
intimately.
