On the subject of templating, I've recently been experimenting with
"style-free stylesheets" as pioneered by Eric van der Vlist
[http://tinyurl.com/kk6on]. Andreas Hartmann wrote a good article about
using the technique in Cocoon
[http://www.cocooncenter.org/articles/stylefree.html].

Style-free stylesheets are a good way to separate HTML from XSLT, and so
are ideal for working with graphic designers who don't know or don't
want to know about XSLT.

Cheers,

Antony

I was thinking of templating systems like Smarty,
http://smarty.php.net/ - AFAIK there are several such templating
systems that are popular in PHP circles (but I know little about PHP
in practice).

What I'd find interesting would be an example of how people could get
data via an HTTP/XML interface, process it with Paloose if needed, and
at the end of the pipeline generate the final presentation using such
templating systems.

My use-case is a Cocoon--based CMS where "junior" people currently
write presentation layers using sitemaps and XSLT. Having a
well-integrated PHP-based solution that does not require the use of
XSLT would be an interesting alternative.
