@tane.piper: IMHO, I don’t think that it’s a good idea to use HTML encoded opening curly braces ({), since it’s hard to read for new team members and Angular.js beginners and it is a maintainers nightmare ;)
I’d like to promote the use of ng-bind:
http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngBind
Oh yea, I wouldn't use it in production :) It was more a case of I was prototyping something and I didn't want to switch context but just plough on through the code.
But yea, ngBind is a good idea
