==== RDF templates and RDF loading ====

A big shortcoming of rdf templates now is that they seem to load data sources synchronously (Neil pointed out to me that this is just an impression - they actually load asynchronously but so fast that they block the browser anyway). A large file certainly blocks the browser. They seem to load the datasource as part of template parsing which doesn't allow a page to register as a builder listener and so catch when the first build of an element completes. As part of version 2, I think loading shouldn't block the browser (some timer stuff or what?) and there should be an event like "datasourceLoaded" to mark its end.
