Yes, true - HttpView inspired me to ditch templates and focus on
programmatic HTML generation, a decision that I'm extremely happy with.
The actual mechanics of the HtmlRenderer that Seaside and SmallWiki use,
however, are quite different from HttpView's.

I know competition is a useful force and all, but it feels like we ought
to be able to share more code than we do... what would you say is the
"essence" of HttpView, and mightn't we be able to plug that into Seaside
at some level?  Or is the essence of HttpView that it has very few
dependencies? ;)
