Well, I know exactly nothing about Mason itself, but perhaps the title of
the book is inappropriate for what Mason can actually do.  Just the
thought of having a .html page on a server with code embedded directly
into it make me shudder.  All too often I see software that lets the
developer *** EMBED CODE DIRECTLY INTO WEB PAGES! ***
<cough>coldfusion</cough> and they make it hard to separate the concerns.

PHP started out as a simple templating system, IIRC, and now it does so
much, there's things like Smarty which are templating systems for the old
templating system. But I digress...
