Hi all.  Before this floats out of my brain, I thought I'd write it down and 
see what people think.

In the past few months I've done a bit of client-side templating in jQuery, 
first using John Resig's microtemplating:

  http://ejohn.org/blog/javascript-micro-templating/

...as well as the just-announced-as-core templating:

  
http://blog.jquery.com/2010/10/04/new-official-jquery-plugins-provide-templating-data-linking-and-globalization/

I used these in KARL which uses Chameleon 1.1.1.  All was happy.

I tried both today on a new project which uses Chameleon 1.2.13.  Chameleon 
didn't like the syntax, which in one case looks like this:

  <% some expression %>

....and in another:

  ${somevar}

In the first case, Chameleon refuses to parse the zpt because Expat tries to 
interpret <% as a startTag.  In the second case...needless to say, it is ironic 
that we have overlap in syntax.  I then tried wrapping a CDATA around the 
block, but Chameleon happily plowed into the CDATA looking for stuff to 
evaluate.

I was going down the path of demand-loading my templates with a second request 
when I stumbled across an obscure point in the docs saying that ${somevar} and 
{{= somevar}} are interchangeable for the second URL above.  Thus, I'm less in 
a pickle, but thought I'd bring it up anyway.
