Re:Idea: using code rather than templates to generate HTML

My project, phpSprockets (http://code.google.com/p/phpsprockets/) does nested markup by working as a node system. After all, if you're going to generate HTML in code you might as well do it in an object oriented way.
$table = new Sprocket( 'table' );
$tr = $table->tr();
$tr->td( "OMG I'm in a sprocket" );
I've done similar things using XElement in C#, though using PHP's magic methods makes for very short readable code.
I agree that templates are handy for separation of concerns though.
