Since when were MCSEs’ required to be VBScript or ASP.NET experts?

I’m seeing more and more jobs out there requiring MCSE certification as well as expert knowledge in VBScript and ASP.NET. Not any one of the cert exams touches on scripting, nor do I believe that Microsoft even requires scripting knowledge of MCSEs’. Are prospective employers confused as to the difference between server/OS engineers and developers, who I see as being scripting and ASP.NET experts? How many of you out there are MCSEs’ and also experts in scripting or know someone who is? If scripting should be a required skills among MCSEs’, shouldn’t Microsoft require it to be included in its MCSE curriculum? What are your thoughts?
