I use Progress WebSpeed at work. Webspeed does something similar to what you suggest, only with Progress 4GL embedded in the HTML between certain tags. This is OK at first, but it often gets ugly, especially where you are jumping in and out of 4GL just to do simple conditionals or iterations that DTML makes not too painful with <dtml-if> and <dtml-in>. OK, I am one of those poor fools who is trying to do too much in DTML. But it's not too bad as long as you factor it out well and keep any messy code in DTML methods rather than mixed in with your HTML. Just my opinion, though.
