Right. However, should "text templates" support METAL?

If so, you could put javascript in a "text template", make it define a macro, 
include that macro in a page template, and have it render itself in the 
context of the page template...

What also would be really nice is the i18n-namespace in js files. I don't know 
a good way to translate strings in a javascript today?

Yes, this would be a great thing.

Hm, thinking of "text templates" I remembered this thing;
