For those goals, very little.

My only concern with Chameleon is portability: it only runs on CPython 
according to 
http://docs.repoze.org/bfg/current/narr/templates.html#chameleon-zpt-templates. 
How do we support IronPython and Jython? Conditionally import chameleon 
and fall back to simpleTAL if we can't?
