The 'security' angle is the only one I consider terribly valid, an was
what I had in mind when I said I can't think of too many reasons why a
packaged' template' solution is in order. Obviously it is for you.
I still believe that in most cases it doesn't make much sense to use one,
for most people, because it's limiting you to a subset of a powerful
language, and the implementation can be slower. Smarty is on the right
track by compiling the templates to PHP and cacheing them.
What I'd *love* to see is a template system which is portable between
various platforms (JSP, CF, PHP, Perl, VBScript). That would, imo, make
it worhtwhile for people to learn *one* templating system that would be
cross-platform.
