Because even a database-driven application will have some
static or static-ish pages, and you might as well keep them in
the same place and have them handled in the same way. As one
of my earlier examples had it, you might very well have an
"about" page, or a "contact_info" page, or something else,
along with your various search forms and results lists and
everything else. When I need such pages, I just write them in
TT, and toss them into my custom/ directory. And yes, it would
be nice if Maypole could serve these up with as low overhead
as possible.
