I believe the Spindle Eclipse plugin for Tapestry allows for these separated files. I may be naive, but are there that many technical hurdles to allowing <span woid="componentName"> in addition or as a replacement to <webobject name="componentName">? Both Tapestry and JSF use this convention and both have Eclipse support, including WYSIWIG support either done or coming soon
for both.

I'm presuming that for this all to work, we'd have to do as Anjo
suggests and have the editor convert on the fly from WO tag syntax to
this, and save back as WO tag syntax. I noticed people talking about
TR's (news to me) and this <span> tag, but I don't know how that would
work with WebObjects unless there was some process in the
request/response loop know how to handle the alternative. Is there
something I'm missing here, and that we can use other tags with WO
now?

You always could. What matters is a tree of WOElement returned by the template() method in WOComponent. This can be overridden to parse any sort of template and return the WOElement tree that really drives WO and RR loop. Think of the .HTML and .WOD as a frozen WOElement tree. Hmm, we could serialize it into XML. Now THAT would be UGLY!
