Could HTML::TEMPLATE be reworked to allow for a more XML-friendly syntax?
What I have in mind:
Depreciate the current syntaxes for variables and inclusions. Replace the
former with an Entity-based model: &VAR.variable_name; Replace the latter
with a Processor Instruction-based model: <?TMPL_INCLUDE url ?>
The biggest benefit of doing this is that a syntax-highlighting editor
won't choke on it.
Don't get me wrong: I understand the need for (some) backward
compatability; that's why I suggest depreciating the current variable and
include syntax instead of outright removing it.
