Templates are a hodge podge. In some cases you use %(xx)s replacement;
in others <mm-*> tags like <MM-List-Name>. Also, you can't just use
arbitrary names. Each template has an associated dictionary in the
code, so even if you are dealing with a template that uses %(name)s
replacements, %(list_name)s may not work in that particular template.

No, but it's on my To Do list to write a FAQ for this.
