Raditha,
This sounds great. It would separate presentation and content. But have
you ever tried to implement it? That's usually how I find out if
something really is as elegant as it sounds.
Here's an article that I read several months ago on this topic:

It all seems fairly straightforward. So what don't the PHP folks like
about this?
