The last time I looked at a PageMaster installation (admittedly a long 
time ago), it had a default template, but it didn't seem to have a way 
to choose another one.  The function of the page template is to lay out 
the sections, so if there's any tags you have to enclose the page in or 
non-section-specific information (like date published, category 
information, nav links, common javascript, etc.), that can all be 
specified here so you don't have to mess around with the various themes.

It strings the -html- in a line down the page.  The tags contained 
therein specifies how the sections will be laid out.

For the more complex layouts, yes.
