The documentation for PHP's "Smarty" templating system includes some very nice prose discussing the justification and rationalization for templating systems in general. Why would PHP need a templating system when PHP is itself a templating system? At first it seems like the starbucks in the restroom of the starbucks -- but the practice of PHP grew to the point where separating logic and presentation became required.
