I have found it very useful when generating DTML templates. 

It would be a real pain to generate them using DTML itself, as it 
terminally confuses me (and probably the parser as well

So - having two syntaxes for the same thing is A Good Thing, please dont
drop it.

Three syntaxes may be an overkill, but we can allways declare one of
them 
deprecated and not recommend it ;)
