question about This

[Brian V Hughes]

I think it's because the page table for a static render is in a 
persistent location, @websites.["#data"], and the page table for a 
dynamic render is, usually, a local table variable created by 
inetd.supervisor, or mainResponder.respond, or any other script that 
calls html.setPageTableAddress.

All html.getPageTableAddress does is return an address pointer to the 
page table object that was last passed to html.setPageTableAddress, 
in the current execution thread.
