The #macro directive can enable a sort of style-sheet functionality,
allowing a designer to specify repetitive blocks of template easily.
It was intended to aid the presentation of the template, not encourage
or enable computation in the template.  

Also, lets not forget that WM is NOT HTML-specific, and in some case,
there is no artist.  I use WM all the time to generate e-mail
messages, source code, etc.
