Actually it's not broken if you know what it stands for. Templates get compiled to Java classes. The current syntax mimics the Java class name syntax exactly, but just leaves of the prefix package that RIFE uses for them). It's important that people realize that they are in fact Java classes, since that also limits the names that can be chosen for them. Afterwards, a parallel way of looking them about with slashes was added at user request, this simply translates to the dot syntax before looking them up.

~ might be good idea

From the issue-tracker discussion, it seems clear
that the current template syntax is _broken_, since
what looks like relative is in fact absolute.

And, slashes and dots are already "taken", so a new
notation is needed, until notations can be harmonised
in the longer term.

Perhaps a relative path could begin with (say) "~" ?
This could refer to the "nearest" (i.e. most deeply
nested) subsite.
