Suggestion:
Refine HTML generation (especially for online leagues) so that only pages that have information to be updated are included in the weekly sim upload/update.

Reason:
OOTP2007 re-generates almost every single HTML page in the league universe whether there is new data, info, or stats to be updated because the league date is on the page and needs to be changed to match the league date. Develop a process that would allow for "smart" HTML generation and allow league commissioners to only upload pages that actually changed. Online league HTML generation typically generates tens of thousands of HTML files where only the date at the top of the page changed and the game wants to include that as part of the in-game upload. Those commissioners that use seperate FTP uploads also get handcuffed because they can't simply sort by date to find the latest updated relevant files--they all get updated even if the page is blank except for a league date! This is absolutely crippling for leagues where the php/unzip tactic doesn't work.

Priority:
High
