I agree with your statement that “The template always dictated the message.” Powerpoint is a good example of that.

If I understand you correctly services can request videos from the database through the API and receive them in different formats such as .mpeg4 or .mov? But isn’t this content being used in another fixed template, for example the blog?

Can we really dispose of the template at a time where we have more different media formats than media standards?

The template as a miscellaneous object sounds great. Content would no longer be a parasite that cannot live without its template, but it would be a free, dynamic and flexible object. I cannot wait!
