[Seaside] About Seaside 3.0

[Boris Popov]

I imagine one could easily write a code generator as a separate project
(not base) by parsing validating XHTML (not HMTL) and stepping through a
tree. One catch would be a mismatch between standard tags/attributes and
names chosen for readability in Seaside, so you'd have to either a)
extend brush classes with standard name alias methods b) keep an
up-to-date mapping of standard-seaside naming conventions.
