yes because we don't want user of the API (from velocity) hardcoding strings as
much as possible. They don't need to know that internally there's a plain text

That's why I haven't proposed to put this in XWiiDocument but only in Document.
Document is scripting API and it makes a lot of sense for scripting, especially
since we don't have a way of sharing a final static String in Velocity.
