No need to leave the Big8, though; there is 
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html.  In this case, the “very general group” 
would be comp.infosystems.www.authoring.misc.

However, keep in mind that this particular OP has a long newsgroup history 
of not RTFM, RTFFAQ, of ignoring any advice, and getting nasty when being 
told that this approach is a Bad Idea, which does not bode well for the
