+1 - but a nicer name would be preferrable. Happy to go with these if nothing 
better is suggested.

Hurm - you mention a condition3 tag. It really is too bad we can't process the 
TAL statements in the order they appear in the source. I just thought of a 
situation where it might be useful to have another define just after a 
condition2.

Then again, perhaps this stuff all belongs off in the model code (ie. Python 
Script) and we're simply asking too much of the view code?
