Keith, It's a specific situation where the template design is done by another entity, and that person typically uses something like Frontpage or Adobe Premier. A HTML page developed by a wysiwyg editor is difficult to *develop* in symfony without a template system which is wysiwyg friendly. If you merge it once (and put the PHP tags inside), it's ok. However, merging it 5 times is 5x the work. We need a system that can be embedded into the template, and Frontpage or Premier accepts.
Naturally, I'd much rather code the template from the ground up and make it very light. However, when a 3rd party is involved, this allows much better interactive development.
