Thanks for the positive feedback!

Thanks for the pointer.  After briefly perusing the URI Template spec, it
seems to be a perfect replacement for what I defined in the Email Transform
(ET) extension (I used a '[' and they used a '}', but the idea is the same).


To keep things simple (the ET extension only defines a single replacement
value at present), it seems like rather than including another
specification, I should just edit the ET spec to conform to the URITemplate
proposal.  Of course, I'm always open to other ideas/thoughts.
