I would prefer the same delimiters for all template commands. That keeps it 
simple and gives your designers only one thing to think about:

<ul>
         [for item in list]
                 <li> [value item]
         [/for]
</ul>


If "value foo" is too verbose and we have to compromise, then I would 
prefer allowing a $ for value:

                 <li> [$item]

That's common enough in other scripting languages that at least some people 
will recognize it. And it keeps the format that every command starts 
something to indicate what that command is.
