Standardizing on one templating system is okay, and I think PHP template is an excellent choice. But I am not sure that it is ready and I do not want to leave the extra layer of API in place if we do standardize on one templating system.
For power themes I found pure PHP themes to be the most powerfull. PHPTemplate makes assumptions, which is good for agile development. But its often hard to circumvent these assumptions in your PHPTemplate. And if so, you often have to build another layer on top of the phptemplate templates layer (that means Drupal -> engine -> your_theme -> your_logic). In that latter case a pure php theme is a very god alternative. (drupal -> your_theme_and_logic) But, yes standardising is good (you can focus better, then), but only if that standard is flexible enough to meet all our needs. ATM we do not have that yet, hence I think maintaining the full range of flexibility, as examples, in core, is the best idea. Ber
