FP2003 may handle this better, but FP will still see this as invalid HTML code, since FP can not
display SSI.

I use FP2000 for all development and work with ASP and use ASP's version of SSI, as well as the FP
Include Page component. I have yet to come across a reason where a HTML code blocks needs to be
split between a include and the container page.

When you split HTML code blocks, you reduce the ability to reuse the include content anywhere on a
page or another site, because you have to be concern about breaking HTML code blocks.
