Handlebars in Sproutcore

Each is changed in Sproutcore

Hi Tom and Yehuda,

I like html. I like handlebars. I don't like what Sproutcore does with handlebars. In the example below, it appears that Sproutcore modifies #each to automatically insert li tags. I find this aggravating. I want Sproutcore to handle my data, DOM updates, etc and let me worry about markup. By their nature, helper methods are not transparent and make it difficult for designers to mark up a page for a SC app.

I like using data-attr because they respect MY markup. I can get behind handlebars in SC if it can also respect my markup. 

Thanks for dialoging about this. I really want to use SC...I just can't get over the view complexity at this point.

Thanks!
Scott
