Well, we're using it exactly for such purpose. Currently our web-interface
has over a hundred pages and we use it almost to its full potential. Despite
a few minor issues, ClearSilver is great for such thing. Thanks Brandon and
others :)!

However, we use different architecture: there is only one CGI program which
handles authentication, access control, general markup, template rendering,
navigation and request routing across pages and form processing modules.
This way, when adding another page or form, you only have to worry about
actual form dataset processing/output and markup.

Sincerely,
Nick
