Agreed. I recall from my own experiments (long ago) with template that
the defaults-in-definitions were troublesome. I think I ended up not
using them at all.

I'm generally not keen on automagic stuff myself, but that's just me.
One remark without having looked at template-alt in detail is however
that the signatures above feel as though they're on the wrong side of
the =. That there are two arguments is a property of number-format; you
need to know this when providing a value for this parameter. The :N
signature rather seems like it applies to the implementation, the
details of which are otherwise in the right hand side.
