It would make the developers' job harder. I would have to bite the
bullet and write methods for all the little 'python:foo and bar'
snippets (no boolean operations in TALES).
The most difficult part will be to change expressions like
tal:content="python:view.someMethod(arg1, arg2)"
where arg1/arg2 come from nested tal:repeats etc. You would have to
write a view method to wrap the inner objects deep inside lists of lists
of lists.
I think in the end you would get better code, and better page templates.
"Better" here means "more readable, more maintainable, less buggy,
better tested".
