Well, specialized math software clearly can't give instruction, at
this point, for how web programming languages should work. We're 20
years deep in this stuff already, so I don't think we need to go back
to the well.
("Should" can still mean "whatever PHP feels like" or "whatever makes
it easier for programmers to move between web languages without
screwing up" but I don't see how the "shoulds" can be based on
minority behavior of comparable software.)
