Well, the driving force behind IOWA was actually to strip *all* non-html
languages out of the templates, for precisely that reason - to isolate the
web developers from the code.  It may look like PHP at first glance, but
all of the Ruby code is actually encapsulated into a totally separate
block from the html (and could be in a completely separate file).
