I support templating, but compliance is likely to be an issue. When Jim 
Pflugrath deliberately put in-your-face comments into the D*Trek 
"comments" header slots that were designed to force beamlines to customize 
their local implementations, seveal of the beamlines that used D*Trek 
ignored those comments. So a lot of D*Trek-aquired data have comments 
fields that contain language like "This is a meaningless header that 
should be replaced by something with content".
