I remember what went through my head as I was typing this....
we had decided that the examples were better written using registered tags 
rather than tags invented for the purpose, and I was looking at the Azeri 
example and saying to myself "hmmm - we don't have any registered script 
tags. This example must go....."

The question of what info is properly encoded in tags has been debated 
since roughly forever, though, so I will not guarantee that there was 
anything like consensus that there were no other reasons to delete it.
