It is my attempt to revive snippet.el.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.AUCTeX.general/3251

I'll add more features later on and release it.

When you define abbrevs you can use snippet features in them. For example,
I have 'ol' expand to

<ol>
<li>$$</li>$.
</ol>

snippet-region will be called to process the abbrev expansion.
