Shouldn't there be a move towards xsl, xml, xslt type templating..

more options for media delivery...  all data gets outputted at xml, 
then the data gets transformed.. but if data is xml, its a lot easier 
to syndicate, and if your a store, its easier to have your products get 
sucked up into sites like dealtime.com, and you could also just release 
your products, and give people dealerids, something like what amazon 
does, then you have more exposure of your product..

Didn't websap make a soap class for amazon?

down with html templating systems.. march towards the future!
