Not to distract from the talk on how to achieve these things in Clojure but I really want to second Stuart's recommendation of StringTemplate, it really is a great library and is seamless to use from Clojure.
I would recommend it for any templating needs, not just HTML views, in fact I have used it at a micro level in Java to do just the kind of lazy binding you are talking about, passed a template as a String argument to a method and let the method then provide the attributes to be bound to the template worked great.
