Implementation of HTML, JavaScript and CSS are at the discretion of the web
browser regardless who sets the standards. The browser has tightly integrated
HTML, JavaScript and CSS into a single entity that is encapsulated within HTML.
Just because these standards exist does not mean they are not tightly
integrated into a single combined language environment.

I think you missed my point. C++ requires C code be embedded to make it a
language environment. C++ does not have "xxx = 1" which is actually part of the
C language.

And you would be wrong. I can actually justify my point. Both create the
onclick method. One in javascript and the other in C++.

I stand corrected but Rhino never gained mainstream momentum. NodeJS changed
that and really became a widely used external JavaScript.
