They'd use a template, of course.  My general point was just that it's 
better to design for the rule rather than the exception, especially when 
the resulting behavior is unexpected and (apparently) not documented.  It 
doesn't matter much to me anymore since I've already spent the time 
tracking down/testing this behavior (since I initially thought it might be 
a problem with *my* script) and then working around it.
