Does Velocity use any normal convention for their template file 
extensions?  [ex: .xml, .jsp, .jdo, etc]?  If so, is there a way to 
commonly render ControllerResponse to a Velocity Context which then merges 
it with a template specified in the struts-config.xml??  [If there's any 
way to figure out that we're talking about a velocity template].  Much in 
the same way that Larry integrated XSLT capabilities direct into the 
struts-config files.

Thanks for taking a look into this!
