I understand what you want to achieve, and it does seem like this may have
utility in some cases. However, even with your patch a template which emits xml
tags or attribute names is not valid xml.

Templating the actual tags and attributes is something I've done in
clearsilver. Consider that this is still not valid xml:

<pwet(var:tagname)
pwet(each:attr=attrs)
pwet(var:attr.name)="pwet(var:xmlquote(attr.value))"
pwet(/each)

However, I think your patch and approach is interesting, and probably useful in
the majority of cases where the xml you are going to output is more static.
Thanks for submitting it. We'll see what Brandon thinks of it.
