OK, makes sense, except...

Your response gave me a clue to get through the requires, namely prepend 
-- require 'action_controller'.  But then I've still gotta deal with all 
the controller infrastructure that gets pulled in, so I think your 
impression is correct.

Bottom line, it isn't worth it.  Either I'll roll my own small package, 
or...

Any suggestions for a lightweight html generation package that can be 
used inside ERb templates, outside of Rails.

Thanks. --David.
