Yeah, I agree with Robin, and it doesn't HAVE to be called "XSP" (though I 
would like it to be syntactically identical to XSP at the page level unless someone has a better idea)

Heck, what about allowing 'XSLT sections" in XSP? In effect letting you 
directly include a template into your xSP. For certain lightweight tasks
that 
might actually make sense... Or maybe its a dumb idea, but I find that the 
only way to find out what makes sense is to try it, since you usually find 
some completely unexpected use for a new capability.
