I have not looked at what it does so far, I was busy fixing the email comparison 
tests that were broken (see issue2550869 and issue2550877). :) But I am done 
with that.  It maybe a good solution or not, I don't have an opinion on it yet.

Anyway I first like to have a test written that tries to render each template
onces with some values, this way we can avoid obvious problems and see if it 
actually works. My testing has convinced me that manual testing it quite a lot of 
work does not give you much assurance in this case.
