Why wouldn't it balk as soon as it sees the tal: prefix?
Because the TAL portions are handled server-side. That is, the server processes the XHTML with the embedded TAL attributes. As it performs the actions embodied in the tal: tags, the tags are removed. So the client simply never sees them at all. It is crucial when handling web technologies, in general, and zope-based technologies in particular to keep track of where something is happening. TAL is designed to happen exclusively on the server side, and to deliver well-formed XHTML (or XML) to the client.
