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.
