One last thing (I promise :). While it might be true that templating 
languages should accomodate the reality of the more predominate XHTML, I 
doubt any will...

Since it really seems to be a flaw in XHTML (xml accomodating sgml and 
legacy apps), what argument would convince them to change? Especially 
since most would give a rat's ass to accomodate XML.
