I'm thinking about using it without user interaction to dynamically (JavaScript) build lists of repeating items from a template. Imagine a RSS reader that populates items from JavaScript. Having the markup as a template in the markup seems cleaner than building it up using DOM from the JavaScript code. I'm not really sure if it would give any benefits though. A designer would still need to modify JavaScript if he changes the markup. The movement of repetition blocks also makes sense for ordering content without form elements. -- Cheers, - Gorm Eriksen
