Let's say templating doesn't make it into the core, how would scoping
solve the "I want to include an XML snippet but not use a DOCTYPE
decl"?
Importing from other projects might be an option.

Probably yes, but a very simple special case.

Let me rephrase that - if sufficently versatile templating doesn't make
static templating a viable option then I don't mind java/ant-apply.
(Because isn't import/include just a specialised static templating rule).

Yep - if templating does not make it in (but I am sure at least xslt
templating will) then I would +1 an include/import (aswell as those
antapply/javapply tasks).
