reports, template/library proposal -- LAML

Hello All,

If gnucash reporting is moving towards webkit (full featured html 
engine), shouldn't we consider using/choosing some kind of mature 
(html/xml), standards-aware „templating“ engine/solutions, such as LAML:

http://www.cs.aau.dk/~normark/laml/

instead of pseudo templating (unstable, unsteady, poor solution) such as 
eguile-gnc, which makes writing reports still complicated, inelegant.
Don't get we wrong -- it (eguile-gnc) works, but it isn't going to 
work/evolve any better than before, and writing reports, reporting 
components is just hard, frustrating without some reasonable, common, 
solid, mature basis (library).

Any thoughts, opinions?
Thank you.
