Actually, I have most of the infastructure in place already, and you can
look forward to seeing templates in the next release. If you have a CVS or
nightly build, you can do the following:
File->Import
This is a lot like File->Open but it won't save over / overwrite the current
doc. So there's no need to set anything read-only if you use this, though
you may want to anyway.

I can try to import this sort of "merge" feature. It shouldn't be all too
hard.
