Wow, that presents some interesting ideas! If nothing else, this is the
first client-side templating system I've seen. Was it a programming
exercise or is it in production use?

As for integrating it, you could simply populate the oData structure*
and let the JavaScript implementation drive the data replacement. This
would certainly push some of the workload off to the client.

It's at least worthy of a mention at the TAL frontpage[1] on Zope.org.
You should try to submit it.


Cheers!
William

* Is that a hash, or associative array? I didn't know you could write
  them like that in Javascript.
