Ah, all right, glad we agree.

Thanks!

Cool. It would seem to make sense that the named template mechanism is 
bundled along with the page template library anyway (instead of the form 
library). zope.formlib currently depends on zope.app.pagetemplate too so 
we could easily leave a backwards compatibility import in place.

zope.app.pagetemplate might be worth our further attention later, but 
this at least would clean up a bit more mess as a first step.
