That would not be my first inclination. Imagine for a second that you produce
documents in 2 languages (Belgium, Quebec, and Switzerland come to mind quickly
as possible candidates for this setup). One station is used for each language.
For this setup I would prefer that the template is chosen at the install for
the station, rather than for each install point.
