Have you never manipulated a PHP server page, which is a mix of PHP
scripting an HTML?  If IDE's accept that (and not this) then it's an IDE
bug because, syntactically they are effectively identical -- short of the
necessarily for balanced parens.  Indeed, e-guile was modelled off the PHP
model.

As for the indentation rules -- again I think it's just a matter of
training the IDE to know how to properly indent it.  Emacs knows how to
indent scheme, and it knows how to indent HTML -- so it should be able to
be taught how to indent a merging of the two.

YMMV, of course.
