Actually, what I meant (and didn't say) is that a "hello world" program in
HTML these days takes no code at all, other than the text "hello world"!
I just tested this on Firefox 2 before posting this reply. It seems that
some (all?) *current-ish* (giving myself some room to move there!) browsers
don't need the intro and outro HTML tags (e.g. HTML and BODY).

That eliminates a lot of frustration for somebody's FIRST exposure to
