From my own exprience with smarty it makes you punch out much clearer and
cleaner code. I've used it in my half-baked nagios v1 php interface
(nagios-php.sf.net) quite extensively.

For reference:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagios-php/

I would vote highly for using it in the future implementation of the nagios
php interface.

I assume that the event broker will make it much easier than needing to parse
files.

Also, as a part of the command implentation I've made an XML detailing the
external commands to be used:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/nagios-php/nagios-php/php/html/cmd.def.
xml?rev=1.15&view=auto

Maybe this could be brought closer to the nagios core in the next cycle?
If it will be shared between the core and the Web UI, it'll make life easier
on the development, and less code replication...
