Because they won't answer. Or they'll just pick up a boilerplate answer at
random among the umpteen answers already given.

Here's a new (?) one: HTML _has_ an INCLUDE function: entity declarations and
entity references. It's a standard part of SGML, upon which HTML was
(nominally) based. Browsers just didn't bother implementing it.

XHTML gives it a new start, in a sense, since entities are part of XML too.
Too bad IE hasn't implemented XHTML, and doesn't seem to have much intentions
to do so.
