I think it would be fine it we tracked the Python site's design with slight
modifications.  Note that the ht2html used for the Python site now groks
ReST, so many of the pages are no longer written in HTML directly.  Take a
look at

    http://www.python.org/idle/index.ht
    http://www.python.org/doc/faq/general.ht

for a couple examples.

You got that right.  I suspect to test out a PHP design locally would
require me to install PHP and reconfigure my Apache.  It would be different
if I used PHP for anything else, but I don't.
