[ZPT] "structure" and TAL interpretation

[Fred Drake]

When using tal:content="structure some/path" or tal:replace="structure 
some/path", the TAL interpreter takes the result of some/path and parses it, 
evaluating any TAL attributes included in the structure, before inserting the 
result in the output.

This is a huge performance hit.

Is anybody relying on the current behavior?  Is it being found useful?

We're considering adding a new insertion mode, possibly called "unquoted", 
that skips the parsing and evaluation of the result of the expression.  This 
would likely first appear in XopeX3 3.1.0, and won't be implemented until 
after ZopeX3 3.0.0 is finished.
