I agree with Joe. URIs are meant to have absolute meaning, which is
why they need to be absolute names, the same in every context.
Template variable names only make sense in the local context of
the template or set of templates which are evaluated against them.
Local names are plenty good enough.
For IRI templates, we could allow iunreserved characters in
the variable names, which would allow for internationalized identifiers.
