From Martijn:
I suppose it could refer to multiple files by pointing to a directory?


I think I disagree with this.  I think it's possible that a directory
could contain files which are not part of a multiple set.  Also,
a directory might be interpreted as a resource in itself.  I'd rather
see some provision for multi-part.  Or, as Thomas said to have the
doc say explicitly that templates describe a single file.
