Nope. CL-EMB is based on John Wiseman's LSP, too. The special
template tags are an additional way to write the templates.

The first example on
http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-emb/examples.html even uses
CL-WHO. :-)

They are in CL-EMB to limit the expressive power in cases you
need to. Like letting a non-Lisper design HTML.

PPRINT-EMB-FUNCTION in CL-EMB.
