Yes, we first did this work before templates was even public in the base, so
didn't worry too much about it during our first generation. Now that templates
are public, we hope to have better integration with them. We have not, though,
looked at in detail to determine how, or how much effort, it will be do do so.
Our major objective for investigating it, is to give the end-user the desired
flexibility and "seamlessness" they would expect. So ... keep your eyes reading
here over the months ahead and perhaps you could review any proposals we come up
with and let us know how we're doing.
