Hi Sune,

Thanks for getting this thread going.  Your outline is pretty close to
the way I've been doing things too.

Seeing it in writing got me wondering though if the whole idea of
application templates "extending" the base site is wrong-headed.
Because the application knows nothing about the site it is to be
embedded in, the application writer is second-guessing what base
template it is supposed to extend.  Say the 'blog' and 'gallery'
applications need to appear on the same page in different
columns...what then?

Shouldn't we encourage a model where site templates are able to
explicitly "include" application templates, rather than the other way
around?  Though I haven't used it, the 'ssi' tag looks like the kind of
thing I have in mind.
