no way - you want this to be configurable TTW, and you don't want to
exec python code that can be gotten TTW, even if you think you're
secure.  Let people use a python script if they need to do that.

I recommend accepting an optional method name, having to write a
script skin to handle parameters isn't so bad for users.  It's just an
organizational issue, really.

You did crib off of XSLTemplate, right? ;)

Looking at my old cruft, what I did was str(source) if no method name
was given, which should work for ParsedXML.
