No.

I think that ZPT has been around long enough (in public use for over a year 
and a half) that if is was a _serious_ problem then it would have been fixed 
much, much earlier. As it is, it's a niggling problem. The define/condition 
TAL are always going to require some sort of "work around" tag, possibly a 
dummy, to work with repeat.

-1 breaking backwards compatibility, even in a "major" release, just because 
the current scheme feels wrong and the alternative feels right
