You can edit this document, usually "Untitled1", and save it again as a new
document template.

Yeah, I am aware of that. It's not what I am looking for.
I guess I am thinking more like HTML templating. For instance, let's say I have
a base template, which defines a couple of fundamental paragraph styles, a
first page, and a default page style, and appropriate headers and footers for
each.
Now I want to create two new templates: invoices and letters. Both of those are
not concerned with fundamental styles or headers and footers. They just fill
the main page area differently.
Hence my thinking is that ideally, the Invoice template should inherit from the
Basic template in such a way that if I make a change to the headers/footers in
the basic template, the invoice template automatically updates itself.
… I don't think this is possible… yet? If so, then why stop there? Why are
templates instantiated and then filled? Why not render a document in the
context of a template, and only store in the document what is required to do
so, rather than duplicate everything that's already in the template?
Documents and templates as cascading style sheets? Hmm...
