Agreed, Bob. I don't see the need for templates for form field components,  
for example. A symbol or service (maybe working like  
ValidationDecorator.insideField()) for providing the CSS class to be used  
and poof!, you can make TextField, for example, to output whatever you  
want. The only components that would benefit from using templates would  
be, IMHO, the ones which actually generate more than one HTML element,  
specially the BeanModel-based ones: BeanEditor (which already has control  
over CSS classes through symbols), BeanEditForm, BeanDisplay, Grid.
