Long ago the topic of portlet-style sites came up on this list and Ian
suggested using a subrequest and paste.recursive.  Wouldn't a web helper
that could do a subrequest be a possible solution?  Rather than the
plugin inheriting the site template, the site template would perform a
subrequest to retrieve the plugin's html.
