What about any of that gives you the impression that it can take local data like a partial? > > I'd just like to verify: Can one pass variable data "into" a snippet and > have it evaluated at runtime in any way? Yes. Click on the "Available Tags" link when editing a snippet to see what you can do. But basically you can use a <r:yield /> tag to display content like a block. You could do this: <r:snippet name="some_container">HELLO</r:snippet> And that snippet might look like this: <div class="so_classy"><r:yield /></div> But take a look at the available tags details for <r:content /> which allows you to evaluate content in the context of some other page.
