Nice :)

I'll look into this more closely when I have chance (this week  
hopefully) and give you some deeper feedback.

One of the things I've been thinking about significantly is how  
'features' can ship templates in whatever the feature author's  
preferred template language is, but allow customisation of those  
templates (or, more importantly, of the fragments those templates are  
made from) in a different template language - so using feature X  
doesn't force the application author to have to use TT or Mason or  
whatever.

I'm interested in your approach to this - given you've obviously  
thought of this (on some level at least), as you're already supporting  
TT and Mason.
