We could use html tags (eg. <span class='reviewer'>) and parse the html page instead.
That means someone who wants to use our entire database must spider millions of pages on our site... unless we start dumping html too.. which is blah.
It also bring about other issues because the tags wouldn't change the site behavior so when someone introduces their own custom templates which break the behavior ... it's more likely to go unnoticed.
I'm not just speaking hypothetically ... The whole inconsistent template thing has caused at least one large reuser no end of headaches.
