Parsoid/Round-trip testing/Templates

Overview/Motivations
This is a comparison/survey of some templating systems that can be used with node.js, for the purpose of selecting an appropriate one to refactor Parsoid's round-trip testing code. Using a templating system will allow us to separate code from UI, cleaning up the current mix of HTML and JavaScript. This page focuses on DOM-based options, as we are considering using a DOM-based templating system, in line with longer term goals of Parsoid. This page is a work in progress; suggestions are welcome!

Templating systems discussed above
