  What's being described above isn't simply template-based rendering
How are you able to draw that conclusion?

The GP didn't supply a link as an example. It is simply a non-specific anecdotal remark, with no further evidence provided.

Well, the post I responded to included a more or less textbook description of template based rendering. It's a response to a response to this:

> The bizarre practice of assigning session keys to visitors and somehow storing the page they're viewing in the server instead of in the URL is pretty common in Brazilian government, which is dominated by Java programmers.

Having dealt with such a service just today (King County Recorder's Office public records search) that behaves in this manner, I felt pretty familiar with what I was describing.

It is entirely possible I'd misapprehended the situation, but as it's an informal conversation on the internet about bad web development practices, I'm going going to dwell on it too much.

You got what I meant correctly. Thank you for understanding me.

I don't know how could anyone think I was talking about general template rendering (but maybe I expressed myself badly, English is not my first language).
