I'd say yes, but then it's harder to drill down into objects in the attribute table.  I'll have to YAML or JSON marshall objects across the socket.  Some objects like binary arrays might be hard to represent properly in language indep manner in gui too.

I think some of the discussion so far raised some misunderstandings.

Is this meant to be a static inspection of the template? i.e some
meta-data about template generation - which either resides inside the
template or perhaps in another source (file, socket stream, etc)

Or is this meant to be something dynamic so that as the template is
generated you can see what is going on?

My understanding so far has been that this would be static inspection.
And if so I am unclear what a socket implementation would provide.
