Ahem - Erik was talking about extending the template system he is working on for use in /Wikibooks/ in order to create wiki books. I agree that such a mechanism /should not/ be allowed in Wikipedia since having books within Wikipedia is counter to the non-linear hyperlinked nature of the project.
I dont think its a question of sequence -- its a question of relationships. A "template project" just means essentially adding tendons to our beefy muscle system that eventually will allow some connection to bones -- these bones will need a backbone of course -- this will still -- despite any calls for absolute primitivity -- need to be an XML schema. Regardless of all my non-techie comments, it looks like the tinkerers are well on the way to getting us to our goal of Wiki Nirvana.
