Boy, you really *don't* know anything about computer architecture, do you?

Interpreting HTML on a Harvard architecture machine might be interesting, but, 
in any case, there would not be any mixing of code and data.  Therefore, Web 
browsing under Harvard architecture would not involve any active content, at least 
not any that would be executed on the client (browser) machine.
