I took a quick look at your code and docs, and it looks like your framework
would be especially handy for anyone already familiar with the TAL type of
markup/templates. I have played around with RoundUp a bit, and had my head
wrapped around that stuff some time back. Would have to revisit it again to
get back up to speed (and plan to...as I would like to work with RoundUp
some more...if I ever find the time).

Congratulations on your work. Satisfaction with one's work, is ultimately,
the best thing to aim for.
