using templates with XMLC

I've been becoming more and more interested in using XMLC to replace 
our wad o'JSP and custom tags.  One thing I like about Struts' custom 
tags is the templating system.  Its very nice to be able to make a 
change to a template .jsp and have it applied across the entire site.  
One problem with maintaining static HTML pages is that you don't have 
the HTML template to help you out so you have to make changes by hand 
to every page in the site.  I'm wondering if this is also a problem 
with XMLC.  It seems that XMLC wouldn't have any trouble stuffing 
values into a template, but what about the HTML people working on the 
pages?  Do they still need to make changes to each page to see them 
when developing?  If so is there a solution to this problem?
   Any thoughts?
   Thanks,
