Hmmm. Well, the existing %SEP% approach still works fine with
ClassicSkin, and can be made to work with PatternSkin if SEP is
redefined as I described.

I think I understand the hard-coded bit now. You were just making
%TMPL:P{"sep"}% and %SEP% synonymous, yes?

I wonder if:
   * Set SEP = %TMPL:P{"sep"}%
would work. It ought to.
