I first heard about this effort at OSDEM in February and it sounded promising then. If the design and implementation are easy to integrate I'd love to include it in Midgard 2.0. If it turns out to be a lot of effort, of course, we'll have to look at it closely and weigh the benefits, but the idea sounds solid.
There's a number of things in the TALES bit which explicitly refer to Zope entities. We'd need to rework this to more generalized entities. Regarding the metal macros: inserting the entire macro but in fact only allowing the editing of slots could lead to confusion. In the example on http://www.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ZPT/METAL, I assume that if I edit the text 'Links' in doc2, save it, then reedit, that particular change would be gone. Which would be counter to what I expect. Also, if macros call macros themselves, would this be unfolded in its entirety every time I edit? Emile
