I've spent a bit of time trying to figure out where the templates are  
being broken here.  I think much of it stems from the very different  
use of the cmdwrappers and hreftemplates.  These really are more for  
cross-skin support and ease of maintenance, as the template processor  
takes a LOT of added time to process blocks in external files, vs  
those contained in the same template.  For custom blocks, I'd  
recommend adding them inline, even if they are adjustments to the  
already existing common blocks. The support is mostly there; it is  
things like a missing "gallerycontainer" item that causes problems  
(strange, as this should already be available but I'll look into it).

I think the best way is to proceed as part of a 7.0 conversion.  Since  
the plugin API is very different starting with 7.0, there is not much  
likelyhood that you can package a 6.5 and 7.0 compatible combined  
download.  This provides a good point for ripping out some of the more  
difficult elements.  It helps us flesh out the design of the API to  
see as many plugins as possible in operation with the API, adding what  
might be needed along the way.  Is there a particular plugin from your  
suite that would say is "simpler" than the rest?  If I start with  
something simple, I can have a go at converting it to 7.0 and trying  
out some fixes.  I've done this already with the WeatherDateTime  
plugin as I use it every day.  I haven't forewarded it back to the  
author yet, as the API is still in progress (no settings validation or  
package installer yet).  I'll be happy to ad another plugin or two to  
my current setup.
