oh yes, ignore what the program actually _does_,
and try to puzzle out, by reading its source code,
what it's _attempting_, and why.  that's the ticket!

but seriously, folks...

isn't it spelled out clearly what the program does,
in its documentation?  oh... right...  i see...  ok...

my land, yes!  engage marcello in some _dialog_!

(i'd love to see that; i'd even take him out of my
kill-filter to watch the fireworks on that thread.)

but seriously, folks...

perhaps the .html should have a comment saying:
"keep yer damn paws off my markup! no transfo!"

p.s.  sorry, i've been ingesting too much huck finn.
