Folks, There's nothing that Lift does magically with <lift:surround/> or <lift:embed/> They just replace XML nodes.
If you want to structure your apps to not have surround or embed, that's fine. If you want to surround or embed at different points in your files, totally cool. Do it however you want. It makes no difference to Lift. Lift's templating is just an XML substitution system. Substitute or don't at your pleasure. Do what works best for you. It makes no difference to Lift.
