Nice. New to me.
I've already played with Zope.... but ZPT seams to take the best from
Templates without having the Zope constraints.

No.  Each part of the web page will be "boxes".  I would like to be very
flexible and display "dynamically" some selected boxes.
For example the same page (url) will not display the same boxes if you are
administrator, maintener or simple viewer.
An another example will be to have possibility to re-use existing boxes.  If
I have a boxes displaying the last 5 news from Slashdot, I don't want to
re-write it each time I need a new bacground color (for example). My Idea
is to use those "boxes" like we use classes : if you need some modification
you subclass it on the rest remains the same.
