But why it is not intended? What is the reason? I store the common
content in only ONE place (to avoid redundant data), save disk space and
there is an easy maintenance (you can't forget one file because the
latest version is automatically imported).

What should be the intantion to allow type="text/html"?

= data redundancy (s. a.)! And why working on several fully identical
files instead of one centrlized one?

My provider provides no server side inclusion in my package.
