 Status: Pending => Rejected

The problem here is that the object doesn't know which name it should be accessed through, since that's defined by the code that instantiates the PageTemplateFile, eg:

    login_form = PageTemplateFile('templates/login_form',globals())

So, the only way I can think to 'solve' this problem is by changing the above to the (aesthetically unpleasing) code as follows:

    login_form = PageTemplateFile('templates/login_form',globals())
    login_form.id='login_form' # *sigh*

If anyone else can think of a nicer way of doing this, please re-open this issue!

PageTemplateFile never sets the id attribute on instantiation, so my_ptf.getId() returns and empty string.

It should returns the id that the PTF is accessible through.
