Because the TAL portions are handled server-side.  That is, the server
processes the XHTML with the embedded TAL attributes.  As it performs
the actions embodied in the tal: tags, the tags are removed.  So the
client simply never sees them at all.

It is crucial when handling web technologies, in general, and zope-based
technologies in particular to keep track of where something is
happening.  TAL is designed to happen exclusively on the server side,
and to deliver well-formed XHTML (or XML) to the client.
