Let's quash this confusion before it spreads. :-) A gallery is something that only exists within a post or page. It is not a special data type, but rather a string of HTML markup (linked images) automatically inserted into an existing data type, post_content. To publish a gallery, you add [gallery] to the text of your post where you want it to appear. There can be text or other media before and after the gallery, but the absence of other content does not make a gallery anything special. Your idea of galleries being presented in a different template is still a good one and it can be achieved within a theme or a plugin, but the underlying data types do not need to change.
