the WebPage class seems to be a good candidate for making
it a Smarty subclass.

if you made WebPage a subclass of Smarty you would
probably need to rewrite the printPage() method
to assign data to Smarty and output a template and add a
std interface (if your using php5 you could really use an interface here!)
to any object that might be passed into
the WebPage constructor so that you can have the passed
object assign any custom data it needs to 'the template'
(i.e. to the Smarty object) and tell the WebPage object which [content]
template needs to displayed.

make sense?
