Hi, Cameron- Your project looks very interesting, and could be extremely promising (at the risk of turning SVG into a programming language ;-) ; I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. Implementations are always more compelling than simple explanations, and this is very good in that regard. I think that what I'm proposing, though, is a much simpler case than the scope of your project. I'm interested to hear any technical rationales against the basic attribute access in templates that I've requested.
