Yes, but now you've given away comparability to XProc v.2 AVTs, in that
all substitutions have to be serialised. That is, if you have variables
whose values are JSON structures, you can't plug them in directly, you
will have to serialise them yourself, or, build a version of mustache
which does that for you. So we're back to a separate templating step
for each media type, each with its own syntax, which is less than ideal,
but probably unavoidable.
