I think including templates only makes sense if it's tied to some X/HTML and
CSS that is generated by Catalyst. Today Catalyst doesn't generate X/HTML or
CSS outside of the HTML::Widget and FormBuilder plugins.

We still need to decide on Catalyst Solution and what form builder it will
include but to be really useful I think there would need to be some standard
X/HTML and CSS output for headers, footers, sidebar widgets and other items
as well. Catalyst isn't designed to conventionalize all of that but Reaction
is. Perhaps it would make more sense to work on a set of templates that gets
bundled with Reaction?

That being said, I haven't looked into how Rails does this. Does Rails
generate some standard CSS that is used by the templates?
