Nathan,
In a nutshell I've taken the event handler improvement I wrote previously
and made minor tweaks to be backwards compatible. This is all sitting on my
hard drive. here's the earlier version:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28388
The patch adds ability to configure "global" event handlers in the
velocity.properties file and allows multiple handlers to be chained
together. There's also a new handler for intercepting #include / #parse
requests. Finally event handlers will have an init() method that provides
access to RuntimeInstance and hence "velocity.properties".
I've also made a set of commonly useful event handlers. I'm open to other
people's opinions on this, but I think they should be in the core. We get
questions all the time about how to escape text, for instance. (JSP 2.0
does this by default).
-> IncludeRelativePath (looks for includes in the same directory as the
template)
-> IncludeNotFound (specifies an alternate file to include if the page isn't
found)
-> PrintExceptions (for method exceptions - prints the exception to the
page)
-> EscapeEntities
It's the last one I'm still working on. EscapeEntities optionally escapes
HTML, XML, CSS, and/or Javascript. I'm toying with making this configurable
by template and/or by reference.

Once we make a significant dent in the bug list, it'll be time to issue
Velocity 1.5. There's a bunch of new features already present (decimal
numbers, maps, allowing returns within directives). There's two more I'd
like to get in (extended event handlers and some upgrades to the
Introspector) but we really need to resolve some of the obscure bugs
before
we release. If you can do anything to help it will speed that along.

Will, would you get/keep me up to speed on your thoughts/plans for
upgrading the event handler stuff if/whenever you get to that? i've
been having some thoughts there too, some of which could/should have a
lot to do with VelocityTools.
