I fully agree with this web-site design as well. But when you post here
a link to source Elisp code, you should expect people to want to look at
it inside Emacs rather than inside a browser. So you should send a URL
to the actual Elisp file, to to its HTML rendering.
And remember, it was just a nitpick. You've blown it way out
of proportion.
