Very interesting, but the template syntax is hideous. :) Do you think
it's possible that there can be some kind of 'Clairity' mode for ZPT,
stripped of security and anything but path expressions (or even simpler,
hardwired syntax), applied solely to a Clairty style object that the
template data is abstracted from? This would fuse the benefits of
Clairty (you outlined) with ZPT (good mockups, well-formedness, etc)
