after reading the whole thread i agree, adding support for templating
complicate things, after all with CSS and when you have a bunch of 
generated HTML like this:

input text:

<label for="usernane">Your user name</label>
<input tabindex="1" id="usernane" type="text" value="benny" name="username">

check box:

<label for="rememberme">Remember my username and password</label>
<input id="rememberme" type="checkbox" checked name="rememberme">

button:

<button name="_action_login" type="submit">login<button>

a <fieldset> and <legend> tags here and there you can style and
apply some DOM javascriptin' to do pretty much everything. for example
one could hide all <label> elements and put label's text as
default text for each control.
