And, just to throw out some ideas of things that I
have been wanting to use/implement templates for:

-Expanding the HttpVariables recipe so that arrays of
GET/POST/COOKIE/SESSION values can be templated.

-Expanding the Wikipaths recipe so that returned
elements could be templated.

-Creating a DB recipe that could return a table as a
list of elements.  This requires the expanded idea of
columns, not just rows.  Perhaps columns could simply
be represented as variables?: 
  || {=$ColA} || {=$ColB} ||
