XML based template engine - like the XML flavour of JSP? (maybe called SXML?)
folks might want to create templates using pure XML, using custom tags (mapping namespaces/elements to function calls) and the ${foo} notation for expressions.
So rather than a custom parser as we have now for SSP, we can have something which parsers the XML and transforms elements based on their namespaces (and looks for ${foo} expressions too).
We could then process things like this...
{code}
...
...
${something}
...
{code}
which would translate to the equivalent of this in SSP
{code}
...
...
${something}
...
{code}
