templating

Hey all,

I've had a question that I've been wondering for a while. I'm making a templating system for front-ends where tags are interpretted (like Smarty). I was wondering if there is value in having the tags be able to communicate with the HTML document and other "Smartyish" tags. I was hoping that the community would have some thoughts on this situation.

Benefits:

More power (tags can tell other tags how to look)
Better structure (smartyish tags behave and look just like html tags)
Tags can manipulate any element on the page

Drawbacks:

Tags can manipulate any element on the page
Tags can interfere with other tags
Code time will increase
