Ahh, so TAL is the language(?) where things like repeat, replace,
condition, etc. are defined. METAL is another language altogether; and
TALES is the the definition of what belongs inside of the TAL
attributes.

check into METAL <g>. Does METAL use TALES in its attributes or is that
a whole 'nother language definition?
