Sorry, don't quite follow it. How would your prefix prevent something other than 
a template beign acquired unless you put your templates in a special folder off 
the acquisition path? (and even that doesn't ensure it; what happens if the 
template of that name isn't found in the templates folder but a 
HorribleDeleteEverythingwhenCalledNasty of the same name can be acquired from 
further up? ;-)
