I think that "nothing special" is still something special, in a way - to the point that it took me some thought to figure out what you might mean by "nothing special" in this context. Presumably you mean that the repetition block is rendered exactly as sent and the content of the template is completely ignored. An alternative would be for the content of the template to be used unconditionally; that might also be considered "nothing special", but would have contradicted the rest of your answer. I wonder if there might be value in having a way to specify that a repetition block should be instantiated explicitly, with particular field values, without having to produce the whole repetition block (including, potentially, a whole bunch of content that's fixed) several times over. In some server-side solutions this is likely to lead to needing to enter the repetition block body twice - once for the explicit rows and once for the template. (I'm thinking of ASP.NET here, because MS is hardly going to add support for WF2 into their builtin controls, although third parties could).
