I've always thought that flow-control in XML / templates is very messy. That's one of the things that I really like about JSX. It's a very simple, easy to understand transformation to function calls to make HTML generating code look more like HTML, but it's just JS. You don't need to invent flow control attributes on HTML that are really JS, because you are just using JS.

This completely removes that. I'm glad it works for you though and happy hacking!
