Ahh, tis nuthin better than seeing a patch accompany a proposal :^)

Here's my main beef with this.  The ostensible goal of the XML syntax is
to make it parse-able by new tools.  Unfortunately, a valid use of the
current syntax:

  <font size="<!--#var font_size-->">

which is legal, would become:

  <font size="<?ztml #var arg ?>">

which *not* valid XML...is it?  That is, can you have markup inside
markup?
