It's over complicated for our needs, and we really don't need another full
featured language to learn and parse. It's like saying everyone should learn

One of the things I believe we're missing from our skin system is a
template language.
PHP embedding is excessively verbose, and it makes it impossible to
contemplate letting users upload skins at whim in a farm scenario.
There are also other things we can't do with php that we can do with a
I wrote a node.js module, which could easily be ported to PHP, which uses
DOM on the server to pre-process HTML, acting on some specific tags and
