Just because I like to advocate TAL:
<ul tal:condition="true: foo">
<li tal:repeat="blah foo">
<span tal:condition="repeat/first">First item?</span>
<span tal:condition="repeat/even">Even item?</span>
<span tal:condition="repeat/odd">Odd item?</span>
<span tal:content="blah/var">Replaced by Foo{'blah'}{'var'}</span>
<span tal:content="blah/method">Replaced by Foo{'blah'}->method()
</span>
</li>
</ul>
template:
renders in browser without code, as it would be seen
is valid markup
works in multiple languages
has multiple perl implementations
mini language is stupid and simple enough that designers don't have
enough control to screw things up

Because the day will come when you want to replace
foo.a # get $foo->{a}
with
foo.a # invoke $foo->a
