+counter.urp

+<p>It is also easy to pass state around via functions, in the style commonly associated with "continuation-based" web servers. As is usual for such systems, all state is stored on the client side. In this case, it is encoded in URLs.</p>

It's probably worth stating explicitly that XML fragments <i>are not strings</i>, so that the type-checker will enforce that our final piece of XML is valid.</p>

form.urp
<p>Here we see a basic form. The type system tracks which form inputs we include, and it enforces that the form handler function expects a record containing exactly those fields, with exactly the proper types.</p>
