Yes, but in the html edition is doesnt really work out. (for me at 
least). I've probably re-arranged the templates for customers 10 times 
or so, but they never used it ( they say they do, but logs dont lie ;-) )

I decided to give it a shot in xul too and it turned out to quite a 
bit more useful. Of course, my xhtml skills are lacking to do a good 
job properly, xul just hides that ;-)
Anyway, the end result surprised me a bit, in a positive way.

The theme and marketing department should embrace dd a bit.
If we polish the templates, add some attribute expression resolving to 
it,  activate some flags to the tags here and there, make some tags 
work in open/closed forms and separate the data-binding from the 
rendering, make the bl compiler a bit more aware of what it's parsing 
in context  and stir that soup for a couple of weeks, we're almost 
halfway to xar 1.5 :-)
