> While it is possible to extend a template class with another template class, 
> and inherit/override as usual, this is not currently possible on an HTML 
> level.
> That means that a web site will have a TempateA.java and a TemplateA.html. 
> Then a TemplateB.java, extending TemplateA and simply overriding and 
> cutomizing stuff, but must have a TemplateB.html file (if needed) that must 
> redefine everything that was in TemplateA.html.
> It would be nice to have a TemplateB.html that simply "patches" TemplateA, 
> but unfortunately this is not so easy, because there is no known standard on 
> patching an HTML file. XSLT could be a way, but that would be rather an 
> extension than a new feature.
> Instead, this lack can be mitigated having a way to include a template in 
> another template. This way, common parts between TemplateA and TemplateB 
> could be refactored out in, say, FooterTemplate, HeaderTemplate and so on.
> We still need to investigate wether this kind of inclusion should be done in 
> the java class, using the current layout system, and/or in HTML directly.
