IMO, web arch. is about the things that make it all work.  The 'glue' of
getting that neat slashdot 'site' from A to B.

Sooooo..

you have these specs in the web arch market that you see in use:
HTML/XHTML/CSS -> w3c specs that everyone uses.  Should be strictly
enforced for max. cross-platform usage.
HTTP - the protocol
TCP/IP


PHP and others are not 'web arch'.  they are a method of creating
xhtml compliant front ends to be transported by HTTP.

See the abstraction barrier? (ponk, ponk)

server crap || web arch. || client crap

and it should really be 'internet arch'.

Its the 'stuff' that makes it all work anywhere.  The server/client ends
should adhere to open standards so they can interoperate.
