Now, how is the user supposed to place other <HEAD> tags such as 
<TITLE>, <SCRIPT> and <LINK>?  The answer is, he can't.  And while he 
*could* put a readfile() in there, it would be no different than placing 
the tags directly in the file.  He couldn't customize the tags to the page.

While what you say *could* be used - it would result in a seriously 
broken site with the inability to add such tags.

Also, there would be no need to use printf() there.  Just the HTML code 
itself would be fine.
