This would make the template impossible to reuse in another page that
required different navigation or other areas of the page to contain
different components.  The problem is due to the lack of separation between
the template and the specification of what should be placed in the template.
With Sitemesh only one component may be placed into the template which is
defined by the request URL.

Or have I missed something?

Are there plans to add Tiles like functionality to the "Componentisation"
tags or should I just use Tiles?
