> For my own education, why did you choose 'genshi'?

Well the 2 options in the end for me were cheetah and genshi. Cheetah has the advantage of pre-processing templates, rendering them as still-readable python code to save time.

Downside of it, when you look at the example at [1], it's not fully xml so stuff looks cluttered when viewing it un-processed.

Second thing was that due to maintaining another two websites with xml/xslt (also gentoo does this), I'm used to XPath, XInclude and whatnot and cheetah doesn't support it that easily.

Uncached pageviews take slightly longer to generate with genshi than with cherrypy but cherrypy has sane caching, so I'm with it this time.
