Well...you could tell your server to process all html pages just like shtml pages... that would work but then your server would be checking all your html pages for directives before serving the pages. Another option might be to redirect all requests for index.html to index.shtml (I'm not sure if that would hurt you in SE traffic but it would give you the shtml page you want people to see). Maybe someone will have another, better, suggestion.
