Agreed.

This would be "phase II".

In "phase I" we just need a proof-of-concept that will allow the plugin 
to take a .lpml file (as opposed to .html) and render it appropriately. 
  Having the ability to hit the "View Source" button and see a page of 
CL code will make, IMHO, quite an impression.
