+Well, my idea was to put all Google-related functionality (in the sense
+of support for any service provided by Google) into the google plugin.
+The alternative would have been to have one separate plugin per feature,

+Yes, and so would flattr. But precisely because this kind of code would require
+editing page.tmpl, doing it the manual way carries the burden of keeping it in
+sync across Ikiwiki updates (I'm sure I don't need to mention the number of
+help requests that essentially boil down to "oops, I was using custom templates
+and hadn't updated them").
