I don't understand which hypothetical design structure of an Ur/Web
library you are considering here. What do you want to do and what do
you think would go wrong?
If you use PHP, Ruby, Plone, any dynamic CMS you have a directory called
/templates/main.template.
If you look into it you find
<html>{ var here }</html>
like syntax.
So this is very very easy for anybody to customize. You don't even have
to know the language the CMS was written in.
Urweb can't do this easily - because everything is "compile time".
I don't see any fundamental difference. PHP scripts depend on a PHP
interpreter installed on the server. It would be easy to build a
similar Ur/Web "interpreter" that first calls the compiler if the
"script" has changed since last compilation.
Ur/Web also supports almost exactly the syntax you're suggesting for
templates, and it would be easy to use a preprocessor to support any
reasonable alternative.
