Currently the templates plugin only allows to load the data from a js file
without an option to use a XML like v2.
This has some drawbacks:
1. It's not possible to reuse existing templates. Asking the people to
rewrite their templates can be a big issue as it might involve other tools
that they had setup to provide custom templates for each client.
2. A json file is more complex to write correctly than a XML. To verify
that a XML file is valid they just have to open it in the browser, and it
will point to any error. Validating the js file will be more complex and I
guess that most of the people will follow the trial and error approach,
leading to frustration as now they have to learn the javascript rules in
order to make it work.
3. Managing XML files seems easier to me. I think that any framework has
tools to read/write xml files, merging them, etc...
So I suggest to improve the templates plugin allowing to load templates
from XML files with the syntax from V2.
