Would you mind expanding on this a bit? I've been trying, and failing, to think
of a situation in which ECS is a better idea than templating. On the surface,
ECS doesn't seem much better than embedded HTML. The only advantage I can think
of is that you don't have to rework templates when the HTML standards change,
but it seems more likely that the site would become obsolete before that
happens.

This too. Why would you limit the capability to put dynamic content in the
layout? I understand that it's usually undesirable for one site to have wildly
differing layouts, but shouldn't that decision be left to the designer instead
of the application developer?
