Is that really what's happening? Any template has variables made available to it from the model. I'm just making them available at a higher level (pre-wrapped in semantic tags and grouped together). The actual layout and styling, sometimes even data formatting - the stuff I think of as the view - is still done entirely in the separate html and css files. I realize this isn't a perfect argument, but it's still worth it to me to have those other processing options available.
