Doh...If you were getting the welcome screen it _would_ have been that 
line left over.  The other suggestions would have been in the case of an 
error screen. 

The book is referencing the fact that you don't need to set the template 
stash variable in this case, but explicitly specifying things is never a 
bad idea, especially when the default behavior is unclear or uncertain.  
Ironically the TEMPLATE_EXTENSION is irrelevant with the above setup.
