Even though I have almost no idea what's going on here (and therefore
all my opinions should be taken with an entire shaker of salt), I tend
to agree with Justin here. Please be *very* careful what features you
add to this system "just because we can".
Remember, if we wanted enough rope to hang ourselves, we'd all be off
using JSP for our templates anyway. The fact that we want something
cleaner, safer, and more structured than JSP is the reason why we're all
interested in WebMacro/Velocity in the first place.
Right?
