Hi,
I'm not too sure where it should go, but I'd think about where it's most
frequently going to be used, in DynLayer or TemplateManager? I followed the
discussion but have not tried any of my own tests. The question came up
related to TemplateManager, but is it a general enough thing that it would
be useful in DynLayer?. Is it something that will be useful to have on the
DynLayer as an option which can be turned on or off (i.e. off by default,
and TemplateManager could turn it on, etc.).
