I'm expecting the bulk of recipes from 2.0 to continue to
work in 2.1, so I don't think we need a separate cookbook
section.  (Yes, some recipes designed for 2.1 won't work in 2.0,
but I'm not too worried about keeping separate versions for those.)

Also, the page variable syntax is the preferred syntax in skin templates,
but the older syntax without curlies will continue to work for a very 
long time to come.  It's entirely possible the non-curly syntax won't
ever be deprecated; I just think the curlies present a more
consistent view (i.e., easier to understand) of things.
