It is a fair question, but... would it be terribly useful considering that in order for it to work, an administrator importing such a service would have to first apply a patch to the s10 system? I?d love to think that uptake of templates will be swift amongst third party service authors, but I?m uncertain that it will be swift enough to bother with such a patch. I could easily offer a shell/awk script to service authors and post it in the community here, but I?m not sure they?d use my one-liner over just doing the edits themselves. But, again, it is a fair question and I will keep exploring solutions. liane
