And yes, there will always be writeHTML (see my earlier comment) but rather than have a whole bunch of conditional tests, why not have different write methods to followup each relevant action? >I wouldn't necessarily want to enforce the logic/display separation -- >when I'm tweaking I often mix the two liberally, and then clean it up >later once I know what I'm trying to do.

I doubt that everyone is comfy with that. It's kindof like forking the project, but in a little way. >Yes, awake() is there, but it's only a very loose guide for the >structure.

Personally, I don't have the stomach to learn a new template syntax... whether XSLT, PSP or php or cheetah or jsp or whatever; I'll take python, thanks. I know, I know, I'm being grouchy about this... and ignorant, too, no doubt. I DO think that there are some good ideas kicking around on this topic; hopefully we can scare up something concrete. I'll look at your experimental stuff. Does Tavis' experimental stuff address any of this? ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
