I find this statement interesting, Pete.  Why do you consider FreeMarker
more MVC than JSP?  With a properly written JSP, all the model
information is passed via beans, and the JSP simply displays them.  Why
is this less MVC than FreeMarker?  FreeMarker is just a text generator,
sort of like XSLT, and as such isn't very smart about things like HTML.
You have to actually embed your HTML code in the FreeMarker template,
which makes it roughly equivalent to a JSP (except interpreted).
