Hmm, unless I've misunderstood something somewhere, then anytime you 
make a change to the template (typically found in the #html method), 
you've got to flush the template cache or the change isn't propogated, 
and thus you can't test your template change.  Otherwise the template 
cache just keeps holding on to your old IATemplate instance, which of 
course was built with your old #html.

Of course, I could be wrong, and could certainly test my hypothesis 
easily enough, but that is how it appears to me.
