I've been doing quite a bit with XmlHTTPRequest (Apple docs are a
great resource to brush up on
http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/xmlhttpreq.html) -- You
already have a "template" Engine, it's called the DOM :)

It's just a heirarchical display device... JavaScript already supports
callbacks.  I have a system in place (not in any state to release, but
I can writeup a doc on it) that accepts callbacks loaded from an
XmlHTTPRequest datagram and processes it.  This way you just hack in a
display handler in JavaScript and away it goes.

This, in conjunction with TT has proven to be quite the useful tool.
