@John - in my opinion, <template bindtotagname="my-yay"> is the wrong
direction. You should be declaring which *template* an *element* uses, not
which element a template captures. Having templates latch onto element
types from afar breaks the one-to-many case, prevents sane swapping of
templates on a specific element node, and many other oddities.
Alternatively, <element template="id-of-some-template"> is more flexible
and the right 'direction' for such an association that suffers none of
those issues, at least in my opinion. Feel free to disagree or set me
straight if anything I said is not accurate :)
