Some kind of snippets (objects that are invoked from
the template during page build time with the page
context as argument and produce HTML) would be useful.

Examples:

The MainMenu snippet would produce HTML code for a menu.
The TimeNow snippet would produce HTML code that
outputs current time.
The SiteStats snippet would produce HTML code that
outputs current statistics for the site.

and so on.

This is to make it possible to easily make more dynamic
pages. In the php world, You add some php code to do
this (and e.g. in etomite, You can create Snippets
that are blocks of php code).

Plugins would be added to the plugins folder and loaded
dynamically when needed.
