Well, the way I think about it is:

If you're a programmer -- do it in java.
If you're a designer -- you're not going to understand XML semantics any
better than java semantics, so make it as simple as possible:  i.e.

<IF>
<ELSE>
</IF>

and forget the looping stuff and fancy tags.


I'm also wondering, has anyone come up with a way of disallowing <% %> tags
without using a preprocessor?
