[Zope3-dev] Re: tal:define="..." considered harmful?

Hi Jean-Marc!

I agree that a view should not be able to modify the data model. But I 
think tal:define is a must have :)

For example: I need tal:define to define names for generic macros:

<ul tal:define="list main_navigation">
   <li metal:use-macro="macros/li_repeat"/>
</ul>

The 'li_repeat' macro expects the name 'list'.
