It promises much more than it really does, this is the reason I'm
deceived. Look at what Casey Duncan says about it:

  http://www.zope.org/Members/Caseman/scss

In general, I agree with him, in particular with the sentence
"Designers still need to wade through code".

However, ZPT is probably the best tool you can choose right now
because it is the one that makes a better separation between logic
and presentation. With the exception of XPY, which does a much
better job at this, but XPY is in a too early stage of development
(don't use it in production).

I'm sorry I don't have time to elaborate on it. But for the
description you have given, I suggest ZPT.
