Wow, great work!  I love the website and your excellent documentation.
Feel free to make announcements of new versions on the list.

I do, however, have a bone to pick.  You claim your system is much
faster than HTML::Template and HTML::Template::JIT:

   Free htmltemplate is significantly faster than HTML::Template in
   rendering pre-compiled templates. Even with the JIT in place, which
   according to Sam speeds up template rendering by a factor of 4 to
   8, htmltemplate might still be as fast or faster.

Can you back this up with numbers?  Java has improved a great deal,
granted, but I'd be pretty shocked if it could beat the
highly-optimized C code generated by HTML::Template::JIT.
