Felix Meschberger commented on SLING-142:
-----------------------------------------
I basically agree with the proposed extension. But I suggest we adhere more to
the EL standard notation ${...} instead of introducing our own syntax {...}.
> Compact Syntax for ESP expressions in HTML attributes

> The current syntax for ESP expressions ( <%= value %>) parallels the JSP
> syntax, but is hard to read when it is used in HTML attributes (<a
> href="<%=link %>"><%=name %> </a>). I propose an syntax addition that allows
> inline ESP expressions in HTML in a more compact way and that is less
> intrusive to the XML structure. Basis for the syntax were JSP Expression
> language and XSLT. The above example would be rephrased in the new syntax as:
> (<a href="{link}"><%=name %> </a>).
