I fully object to that.
it's not very convenient, but you can escape { and }
with {ldelim} and {rdelim} iirc
and moreover you can use
{litteral}
....
{/literal}
to define non parsed blocks.
php is clearly a good templating language, but is definetely too rich,
and leads to unmaintainable pages. moreover, it has access to the FS,
the database, god know what else. and tpl are great to allow user to
have some kind of turing-completeness without nasty access to your
system.
btw, inline css is almost allways nasty, and you should prefer a
separate .css file, and a <link rel=...> to it ;)
