I looked and the tcl tag is not used anywhere in OpenACS and to be honest I think I am quite happy about that. I think most html formatting tools will not look through <% tags but they will definitely mess with stuff bound by <tcl> I would be inclined to remove it.

And as Dave said, we would like to see less tcl (i.e. none) in the .adp files so if there is something that is hard to do with the current tag set we should add a tag to make it easy, not force designers to deal with tcl arcana.

I would argue for removing the tcl tag and not adding any of these interesting but I think ultimately troublesome tags you are proposing.

IIRC, the <tcl> tag can't be removed as <%, %> escapes are replaced with the <tcl>, </tcl> tags prior to compiling the template.
