 Ah, I actually have been wondering about this, too.
 
 It seems in some cases (especially when editing via WebDAV) the 
'metal:slot' attribute makes it to the actual page template when
saving.  The page template cannot be rendered afterwards, as
'metal:slot' is not a valid METAL attribute.

 Can someone else confirm this observation? I had to fix my page
templates repeatedly after WebDAV edits, as the 'metal:slot' instead of
the 'metal:fill-slot' showed up in the page template. Maybe I made a
stupid mistake here?
