Yeps. Kirk and you both expressed MHO better than I did... I did the 
half-backed-template Kirk describes a couple times, and what you wrote 
above apply to my own experience with too-dumbed-down templating systems 
that finally make it harder for both the programmer and the designer, 
since a good part of the presentation logic then moves up to the 
controller, which somehow ruins the whole idea.
