 As soon as you say 'values', I hear 'data'.  Values are not code. This 
doesn't mean that templates can't be dynamic however. For example, in 
www.mcgill.ca, users could put dynamic objects into their content. These 
would be executed at runtime and could vary at every page load. The placement 
of the object is still data, and was validated against a modified xhmtl 
schema. The data objects does however invoke code - code that is controlled 
in the code base.
