One possible (minor) refinement:

<tr show:format-of="listItem">

It's a bit more explanatory (this tag is the "format of" a "listItem").  Of 
course, it also conflicts with "show" as a prefix.  And I'm not sure it's a 
usability improvement.

I'm almost tempted to add a "vocabulary" component into TemplateParser so 
as to make it easier for people to use different attribute names, but that 
way lies madness.  :)
