Well, in ClearSilver you have attribute access so you don't have to
push anything more than the objects that you want to render and a
request object. If you see that as "limiting", welll. then I guess you
would like Genshi, who clearly has no limitations at all. I wouldn't
specifically mind using Genshi if I knew I was the only one to edit
the templates. But in a situation where I have to work on others
template code, I'd much rather use something that doesn't let you run
full unrestricted python in the templates, thanks. :-)

I think we should to ClearSilver integration as well, and also
Templess integration, mostly to get a good base for the templating
integration, so we know it works. :-)
