Yes, but unfortunately you have to be admin to set constants. Which is a 
big problem.

OTOH, I don't want the average user mes with the layout, be it be HTML 
templates or Typoscript.

PS: Mixing HTML with high-level code (PHP, Perl, VBasic, etc) was wrong 
from the beginning. TYPO3 should not go back to where we were 6 years 
ago. Smarty is walking on the edge, as it is very powerful (too 
powerful). But I'd choose it's way: basic "variables" with basic looping 
constructs and conditions. But no extra programming logic, nothing that 
comes near a programming language.
