Hi,
Contrary to what is described here http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewRenderingArchitecture#HA6Intro... 
  I'd like to propose instead to use a nested {xhtml} macro whenever  
you want your velocity script to generate XHTML.
So the example would be transformed into:
{velocity}{xhtml}
<div>
   <h1>Hello $customer.Name!</h1>
   <table>
     #foreach( $mud in $mudsOnSpecial )
       #if ( $customer.hasPurchased($mud) )
         <tr>
           <td>
             * [link>$flogger.getPromo( $mud )]
           </td>
         </tr>
       #end
     #end
   </table>
</div>
{/xhtml}{/velocity}
It seems to me much more logical to do it this way, especially since  
we allow nested macros.
Note1: that it'll work because the velocity macro supports wiki syntax  
and {xhtml} is wiki syntax.
Note2: This is not equivalent to writing {xhtml}{velocity}... since  
the xhtml macro only accepts valid XHTML. This is valid though:
{xhtml}
   <div>
     <a href="...">{somemacro/}</a>
  </div>
{/xhtml}
WDYT? Is it ok with you?
Thanks
-Vincent
