You can even do <tal:whatever />. So for some keystroke saving and much  
better clarity, you can to stuff like this:

<tal:caravans repeat="caravan here/getCaravans">
   ...
</tal:caravans>

This will make it much easier to nest repeats, and will allow you to see  
where things end, instead of the generic </div> or </span> everywhere.
