does the person know any .html to begin with?

yes, that's a huge part of the problem with .html...
and it's worse if the person knew any .html before.

interesting that you call that a "temptation"...

i guess you're saying that in such cases,
it's not gonna be obvious "it looks right".

your problem, in _my_ opinion, is that
you are fighting against human nature,
instead of using it to your _advantage_.
my system adopts as a primary rule
that "if it _looks_ right, it _is_ right".
and, conversely, "if it doesn't look right,
you need to change your input so it will."
