All the templates in the Woodgrove sample site include the <head> element:
<head>
<meta ... >
<meta ... >
...
</head>
If this element is common to all the templates, is there a reason why it
isn't converted into a user control invoked by the templates?

Hi Bill,
The <HEAD> tag is a container, and hence can contain many other tags
including the below. By leaving these tags in place the templates can be
edited to include any of these additional tags.
<BASE>
<ISINDEX>
<LINK>
<META>
<NEXTID>
<TITLE>
Glenn.

| Sure it's possible - but watch out - VS.NET's design mode designer doesn't
like this type of thing and you may well be stuck with the HTML view only.

Thank you for warning me.
So, we've established it's possible. I'd still like to know whether it's
good practice. Is there some rule when I should apply this technique, if
ever? If I have many templates, would it make sense to do that? Is there an
efficiency price to pay?
