You have a point here, but you're not necessarily right. Smarty templates are more complex than IT[X]/PHPlib-style templates, but still easier than XSL, and not all designers are that dumb. I think IT[X]-style templates are more important, but I wouldn't object to having both. regards Wagner -- "Never attribute to malice what can as easily be the result of incompetence."
