Valid html code is absolutely a must have for me too. But the feeling I have
about the Agavi approach is that is more like dictating you to have valid
html code (because otherwise the fpf won't work in any way). And we all know
that one day or another you will have some invalid code in your project (may
it be because of human errors, or crappy WYSIWYG editor, etc.).

Also it feels a bit magical (like it felt back in symfony 1.0 days too) when
your html code get's "enriched" by some "outside" code. imho this makes
debugging a harder task since you might get no feedback or your only
feedback will be that you don't see anything happen (like enriching your
html code).

I like this idea very much.
