Template file names
I want to be able to develop CouchDB apps using the Eclipse plugin and
I want to use templates.
Templates have <%...%> tags in them, and the Helios (Eclipse 3.6) HTML
validator objects, saying this is not valid HTML (which is true). However if
I called these file .jsp rather than .html it would be legal.
So my question is whether the template system cares about file extensions
and whether this has any effect on things like content types?

The file, when embedded in the JSON document, is served as JSON. See, for instance:
http://jchris.couchone.com/proto/_design/proto
(It's a giant JSON blob with some templates embedded in it)
Of course, binary attachments are served with the content type they are PUT with, eg, see:

So when the file is served what header Content-Type is set?

No, the templates are stored as part of the JSON document bodies, so there is no content type. The `couchapp` script removes extensions when pushing. There are other design document management tools which do not remove extensions. It's really up to you. I've chosen to remove extensions because it makes it easier to address templates etc in JavaScript.

My question was not so much about which template system to use
as about whether the template system had any sensitivity to the
file extension of the template files, in particular does it set the
content-type from the extension.

CouchDB doesn't care which template system you use. There are lots of them implemented in JavaScript. You might also look at Mustache.js.
For the one you have now .erb might provide good highlighting too.
