I've been arguing about this with myself a bit, too.  Somehow the 
consistant use of php appealed to me better than going in and out of 
PHP.  Especially since that page is more logic driven.

The page that actually presents the newsletters to the viewer is HTML 
with PHP embedded.  There the program/parse flow is straight forward.

As far as HTML syntax checker goes, I would run them after the web 
server has parsed/served the page since that's what is actually passed 
to the browser.  But the reality is that I never bother with syntax 
checkers.  My most advanced HTML tag is the <table> tag.  Never really 
had time to embrace the CSS front although it looks promising.
