That's an excellent example of how Python can accommodate different  
tastes. =) I can't stand TAL; I find it awkward and unPythonic. Your  
comment makes sense, though. Mako and TAL have very different design  
philosophies, and if you really like one, you're probably going to  
find the other strange at best.
