Thymeleaf allows you to create XML, XHTML and HTML5 templates like this:

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th th:text="#{msgs.headers.name}">Name</td>
      <th th:text="#{msgs.headers.price}">Price</td>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr th:each="prod : ${allProducts}">
      <td th:text="${prod.name}">Oranges</td>
      <td th:text="${#numbers.formatDecimal(prod.price,1,2)}">0.99</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Note the internationalization expressions #{...}, variable evaluations ${...} and even utility functions like #numbers.formatDecimal(...).

Add to this full (optional) Spring MVC integration including form binding, property editors, validation messages and an intelligent caché system.

Looks good! Is there any performance benchmark comparison against e.g. freemarker? Nevertheless I like its syntax and philosophy.
