Because it's simple.
Simple is good.
I love simple.
No templates, no b.s.

Often, simple is not pretty, but it works, and that has a lot more
value than eye candy IMO.  So a simple insertion of text right after
the body tag in a div should do a mighty fine job.  That's just a
suggestion though, you could do something more complicated, but IMO it
won't help much.

I want to do this:

  cd <dir>
  rest2web
  # go in firefox and browse results.

It has to work on all HTML pages.  I certainly don't want to learn
about the tool any more than its name to invoke it, and most of all
not have to read configuration documentation in web pages (engineers
don't read documentation anyway ;-) ).

I'll try this with rest2web.
