Also,
*Anything* you can do with a for-each, you can do with a template (with a mode if necessary). I wonder whether the reverse is the case. (Can anyone suggest something that can't be done with a for-each, but can be done with templates? I can think of things much harder to do with for-each, but impossible?) In anything but the simplest cases, templates are far more flexible, easier to extend and maintain. In particular, if you need to preserve the order and hierarchy of your data (see the Subject line), for-each will make things harder.
