Have you found a need for this?  If so, have you got some code that 
would provide a starting point?

While we're floating implementation-abstraction packages, I've 
recently put together a very light weight package to abstract the api 
of a templating system from the implementation.  I have 
implementations for Velocity and Jelly so far.  I'd share if people 
are interested.  So far I'm getting by with basically two versions of 
one API method:

public String mergeTemplate(String templateName, Map context)
and
public void mergeTemplate(String templateName, Map context, Writer writer)

It uses Commons Discovery for configuration.  It works for me.  But 
then, my needs are pretty simple.
