Thanks. Could you quickly outline how users will benefit from the template engine? Is it possible, for instance, for users to easily provide their own templates that override or modify the templates Castor would normally use? If so, is such replacement possible - incrementally (that is, I only change what I need to change) - without changing any of Castor's jar files?
