same thing in rails. you just tell her/him to use @person.address1 and @
person.adress2 =)

i guess it really depends. most of the projects i've worked on in the 
last months
didnt had a special html-guy/designer.. so for me the abstraction of a 
binding
or anything a like doesnt bring me any advantage and just costs time. 
but like i said,
thats just me..

for sure you can say that a html-guy would have to learn a bit of ruby 
to
do more complex templates with rails. but if the project would be using 
cgikit,
he/she would have to learn cgikit also..
