on that level none as far as I can see (though this might always change 
when getting into the details :-)

my main point would be that there is stuff wrong with the template idea 
  the way it is now and part of the way it presents its interfaces.
And how it will be married with the LDB concepts (and how they would 
need to change to fit the template concept).

  However, that doesn't really hurt much when building such a system 
because adjustments on both ends should be "fairly" easy and each side 
might help in understanding how it really should look like in the end.

cheers
