Anything that reduces the pool contributors is, in my eyes, a bad
thing. I guess the advantage of erb is that it's more similar to e.g.
php or asp templating?

Do you have any suggestions for 'erb standards' that we could use to
improve the readability of our erb templates? I can't put my finger on
it, but they normally seem a mess and are hard to check for missing
close tags, out-of-paragraph text, etc.

Sounds like we're all agreed on selenium then!
