Just a couple of points:

I don't think you can do any real validadation of TeX.  That might be
possible in other areas, but since TeX will almost certainly act as
the high-end template system, we have to acknowledge that some level
of validation is going to break down at some point.

We can load all the default templates into the db.  It would be
trivial to do that.

Good question.  I don't know if that has been looked at.  See?  Peer
review is good...
