Stefano's focus seem to be on HTML.
For the record: my focus is on having a template language for cocoon that is as powerful as XSP but avoids all the problems.
Also, I think that XHTML markup offers the best possible usecase of how that template language should work.
Also, I think that being friendly to existing authoring tools is not only a plus but a very interesting usecase that makes us think about the hows and whys on the syntaxes and models that we use.
for example, Daniel proposed numbered-attributes to solve the problem of loop nesting. Well, I think that's a problem we don't have, because it's very unlikely that somebody will nest loops without nesting elements!
Dealing with strict constrains is also a very good exercise of design because it forces you to think rather than just work by symmetry.
