New text template syntax

Hey all,

today I checked in a revised syntax for text templates.
While the old  
syntax was inspired by Cheetah/Velocity, the new one is more
Django- 
like, using more explicit delimiting of directives. This
makes the  
text template language more powerful and flexibile when
dealing with  
whitespace/linebreak-sensitive output formats.

The old syntax is staying around for at least two more major
 
releases. There are two classes now,
genshi.template.OldTextTemplate  
and genshi.template.NewTextTemplate. OldTextTemplate is
aliased to  
TextTemplate. The migration plan I have in mind is: in the
0.6  
release, TextTemplate will instead be an alias to
NewTextTemplate,  
and in the 0.7 release OldTextTemplate will be removed.

I'd welcome any feedback on this. For more information,
see:

Thanks,
