Oops. Sorry. Should've said "DOM-style", seeing as the acronym "DOM"

that represents a document as an object model.

Have you looked at PyMeld/Nevow.renderer/HTMLTemplate at all? These
systems only convert "special" elements into independent template
nodes, resulting in a much simpler, more efficient object model.
