1) html/interface designers can work with tools that understand
html.
(They don't have to worry about breaking template or jsp code.)
2) developers get access to the html template via a java object that
implements the standard api from the W3C. (no html with in-line
code)
3) the resulting application can run on any platform that supports
servlets. (no dependence on a template engine.)

This is a cool idea. The DOM is the key I believe... I've been trying
to think of ways that CSS attributes could be used to script stuff on
the server side in much the same way as the proposed client side CSS
"behaviours".
However... I haven't yet been able to come up with something that has
the simplicity and speed of JSP. Whatever you do involving a DOM is
going to involve parsing the document on request.
It's also focused still on the display process and not solving the
request processing problem.
