That's an intriguing idea.  I remember having a lot of trouble with a recent contract because the client had never heard of WebMacro and thought everything should be done with JSP.  The customer is King, so they get what they want even if it's not the best solution.  Normally I wouldn't even mention it a second time, but in this particular case, WebMacro really had some advantages that would reduce design time (sorry can't elaborate), and thus, cost.  Even then, it was a very tough sell.  

If I didn't have to "sell" it, I'd probably use WebMacro more often.  Sometimes I wish I could avoid telling the customer that it's a part of the solution at all because it tends the freak them out when they've never heard of it, but that wouldn't be ethical and contracts usually require disclosure of such things.
