will it be possible to easily interleave IO values into the HTML? like instead of the [1,2,3]
ul $ forM_ [1, 2, 3] (li . string . show)
what if it was a function that returned IO [1,2,3] (maybe 1,2,3 came out of a database). will the forM_ handle that OK?

Blaze HTML looks wonderful to me (especially with the do notation), and better then Hamlet for one reason: writing idiomatic haskell for stuff like this:
ul $ forM_ [1, 2, 3] (li . string . show)
instead of the Hamlet style:
%ul
  $forall children.person child
    %li $child$
which, i don't know, for some reason, made me feel like i was back in PHP land.

As a user, I have too many HTML generators, a few of them with Ajax and none with server-side event handling (like ASPX or JSPX).  Ajax is complicated but server side event handling is  what I really miss because it is simple  from the user point of view, my ervents could be handled in haskell code rather than in javaScript and I  implicitly could  use the advantages of  dinamic HTML and Ajax without the need to know them at all. 

Imagine a dynamic Web application  with 100% haskell code made with dynamic widgets created by third party developers.

So, anyone want to create a HTML templating system with server side event handling? It is not terribly hard to do. (I refer to ASP.NET documentation or the JavaServer Faces framework).

By the way, I vote for XML templating or else, combinator templating that produce XHML templating because it can be handled by a future graphical IDE.

Sure, I can do that. But I already tested integration with the snap
framework, the best path here seems to call the `writeLBS` function
from the snap framework on the `L.ByteString` that BlazeHtml produces
(`writeLBS` internally uses an enumerator).

Kind regards,
