Hi Franz,

I don't consider this a good idea. The whole setup of HTML-Templates (with 
markers), TypoScript (for configuration) and PHP (for the application 
logic) follows the concept of seperating different parts of the whole, just  
like Templates seperate presentation from logic, or as CSS seperates the 
layout of an HTML document from the standardized generalized markup.

Your integration of Typoscript configuration into the HTML template 
reverses the seperation, thus having the same effect as putting CSS styles 
back into HTML by using inline-styles in tags. While the latter may "just" 
be considered ugly, the integration of configuration parameters in the 
template poses a more serious problem if work on a site is split up in 
teams: Suddenly, the layout/design team, with very good HTML/CSS skills but 
usualy very poor TypoScript skills, gets the opportunity to mess up 
TypoScript code.

Bad!

Please leave TypoScript in the TypoScript templates.
