Well, obviously the database underpins the entire structure. And the purpose of the webserver
is simply to, er, escort the application to its clients.

So I suggest that the new acronym should reflect this:

D -atabase
O -perating system
P -rogramming language
E -scort service

As someone who feels that (relational) databases are overused, I'll agree that DOPE is a great
acronym for any system that forces you to have a database even when you don't want one. Rails,
I'm looking at you!
