Kid [1] is an XML based template language that uses PIs to embed  
Python code. It's similar to PHP with the following exceptions:

1. Documents must be well-formed. (Output is guaranteed to be well- 
formed)
2. PIs cannot generated output. They prepare data only, which is then  
referenced from attribute based constructs or XSLTish attribute  
interpolation.
