This is the second post in response to cross-breading ZPT and XSLT. I'd like to dig into how I'd like templating to work in Kid and Leslie opens the door for me:

... maybe this is the sort of thing Ryan's thinking about-- I wonder how hard it would be to hack this into Kid? It would give only a subset of XSLT's capabilities in trade for simplicity, and would only offer the pull approach, but it would give XML-pipelining to a ZPT-ish technology.
