It seems to me that the WHIFF approach is far more general, no?

Of course the WHIFF approach is also more verbose, because it's
really meant to be a configuration language, not a templating
system.  I want to add a Jinja middleware to WHIFF so you can use
the conveniences of Jinja when they are appropriate.  I want to
add other middlewares too, and the WHIFF infrastructure makes it easy
to add middlewares and use them.  That's the real point.

Yes, and I could integrate Pygments into a web server
written in PDP11 assembly in 20 seconds ;c) -- the question
is how easy is it to develop/configure/deploy/use these things
for people without our very high levels of skill :).

I'm not sure which page you are referring to but I was either
lazy and sloppy or I wanted to keep the example self contained.

Thanks again for the comments, they have been very instructive.
