I'm waffling between  these two. I'm considering the case where you want to show 
some default text in an editor.

So in the 2nd case, having <i>$companyname</i> isn't as good as having 
<i>Company Name</i>

which in the first case would be tal:put="'Company Name' expr1" 

Yuck, can't do that.

I suppose this is one of those uses where showing default text will just have to suffer 
with something like

<p tal:put="Company_Name item/name"><i>Company_Name</i></p>

??
