Thanks for finding and fixing!  The error you describe has been added 
as part of the standard test run, and a variation of your fix (the same 
plus allow whitespace on either side) has been applied in the code.  An 
updated PageTemplate will be available sometime in the next hour - I'm 
still getting the hang of Sourceforge ;-)

MY plan is to keep the syntax as simple as possible, but providing 
access to an object's public interface made that goal more difficult.  
As soon as I figure out how to hide the complexity from your local Web 
designer, I will definitely provide _some_ means of passing 
parameters.  Then you could find or make a way to do bounded loops, yes.

It's something to look forward to, I hope :-)
