I don't think Brian was saying we should reinvent the wheel as far as
templating is concerned.  There are only a few good templating systems out
there anyway (fasttemplate, phplib, smarty).  My vote is for Smarty.  I
think Brian is saying we should integrate the Smarty code (let's say) into
phpWS so WE are familiar enough with it to continue on if the original
project stalls.

Karsten, you're correct that we shouldn't use an internationalization
technique that requires specific compile time options to implement it.  I
wasn't aware gettext required that.

FYI, phpWS is #7 on the HotScripts.com's PHP  most popular list.  Other PHP
content management systems are up there with us with Nuke at #1.
