Terence Parr, Enforcing Model-View Separation in Template Engines Draft submitted to www2004 Excellent discussion of template technology and how it interfaces with source code components. Dsicusses general separation between templates and code and which techniques violate this principle. Interestingly the author admits that his own engine is getting always closer to functional language principles even though he claims to be not of the functional camp. What does this say about model2+ architectures which use XSL/XSLT to generate web pages?. This paper will be the base for a discussion on grammar and the whole software technology around "web" programming (JSP, ASP, PHP, XSL and all those template based things)
