I think sooner or later you will find all kinds of cases where the
standard tags are not sufficient enough. In FFSomething, I generate a
DOT file out of a network dump of the topology and have to calculate the
color of the lines depending on the link quality. This is surly a layout
not a view code thing. For such cases i just use the expr tag (
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/ExprTag ) because it's simply so
flexible for such rare cases where the if and ifequal tags are not
sufficient enough. I don't think ifgreater and ifless are really used
that much that it should result in a additional default tag, maybe the
if tag should simply be more flexible then it is now.

i'm -0 on this.

kindly regards
 Daniel
