I'm surprised that no one responded to this. (Or maybe people did and our continual email server problems have lost it.) I'd like to congratulate Hiperlogica, because they have (ding ding ding) the _right answer_! :^) Seriously, we at Digital Creations have been quietly formulating a proposal on this since Amos put up the template proposal in dev.zope.org. I floated some trial balloons at EuroZope and it's clear there's some consensus. Our "XHTML Templates Proposal" is at: http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/XHTMLTemplatesProposal Since Wiki is having a tough time on the list here lately, I'll post the text in a message in just a second. To summarize, we at DC at least think that Hiperglocia is on to the right thing and we'd like to indicate support for that direction. --Paul lalo@hackandroll.org wrote:
We (I and Hiperlogica, a company I consult with) have been developing a template renderer with similar intent to xmlc (be based on XML/DOM, allow the template to be previewed and edited using tools not aware of the format, such as xHTML editors, and enforce presentation/logic separation).
As the project is somewhat on hold while we have more pressing issues, I decided to share the current (rather kludgy) prototype with the community. It is at http://www.zope.org/Members/lalo/HiperDOM/

Zope Devers,
THis is going to seem strange coming from someone who hasn't been on the list in a long time, but I was at the Linux Expo in San Jose, and sat in on a Web app talk. Lutris was in charge of the panel, and they talked about xmlc. I went to their booth and asked about it. I think it could be the best way to get hard-core python people to jump on zope's band-wagon, and stop the dtml frowning.
If you who are in the know about zope have time, please read a quick bit on what it is.
Especially the tutorial:

Is there any obvious reason why Zope wouldn't benefit tremendously from this design and programming separation and pure python boost?
