a: it is really not as things stand (yet)
b: the ppl doin the interview know nothing whatever of all five
c: where/how can i very speedily bone up to higher bullsh!t level on 2-5?

http://www.w3schools.com/ is a reasonable primer for at least 2 & 3, I think, still. 4 is just a variety of 3 and very simple - look at a few examples and you'll have it down. 5 might be more complicated, in that it can do a variety of stuff, and you cannot easily cram it all.

cheers marna: i am frankly dubious this element is a deal-breaker in itself (since one of the interviewers is the person i have been working with for the last six months and she suggested i apply!) -- more like a filter for the agency supplying outside applicants

Plus also sql is kinda useless without another programming language - you can't do anything with it using just html/css/xml.
