I personally don't like writing TS code in DS, as it will be overridden 
if the DS get's updated. Therefore better write it in the "local 
processing" field of the TV template.

And to be even more flexible with constants and global TS stuff, I'm 
myself always outsourcing the TS rendering to regular TS templates and 
only copy/references the TS objects inside TV:

---- local processing ------
<T3DataStructure>
     <ROOT type="array">
         <el>
             <field_example type="array">
                 <tx_templavoila type="array">
			<TypoScript>
<![CDATA[
	10 >
	10 < lib.example
]]>
			</TypoScript>
                 </tx_templavoila>
             </field_example>
         </el>
     </ROOT>
</T3DataStructure>
----------------------------

---- TS template setup -----
lib.example = TEXT
lib.example {
	current = 1
	typolink.parameter = {$constant}
	wrap = {$config.linkWrap}
	required = 1
}
----------------------------

This way I can manage all TS at one central place and also have TSref 
easily at hand (or the T3editor if you like to use it). All TV fields 
are of course also available - to there is no disadvantage with this 
method - you can only benefit from it ;).
