Really? So, the template named "Default" isn't the default? And - can I select
one of the templates as the default, then? I don't see any UI for that.

So, what's your opinion about this state of affairs? As opposed to, say, there
_always_ being a default template in the user's profile (and if it's missing,
one is generated when the module comes up, from hard-code values or from a
default-of-default-templates that's not in the user's profile)

Can you clarify the difference between (2.) and (3.)? Is (3.) outside of the
current document? Is it in the default template, if one exists?
