I think you missed something VERY important. Bi-Directional! I LOVE that I can inject values from a template into the code. For example, my picture viewing application. The XHTML template specifies how many Columns per row (5), How many pictures per page (20). On the WML, it says show 1 picture per row, 3 per page.
The beauty? The backend only has ONE set of logic for ALL the templates. I think that is the beauty of the no logic in the templates. That's TRUE MVC in my opinion.
