Even the very simplest roll-your-own framework would remove this 
necessity.

Even simpler, you just split the contents of the site in to 
components and load them via your favourite scripting language, 
e.g.

<?php echo get_file_contents("copyright.html"); ?>

I don't necessarily think using ddoc is a bad idea, but web 
development has moved on a long way from editing every file 
separately.
