I must say that I somewhat agree with the original poster though:
there should be a clear way to trigger exceptions when non-existing
variables are added to the templates.
Case in point:
<a href="{{somevar}}">...</a>
<div style="{{somevar}}">...</div>
etc etc
Or: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2583
In all these places it might not be immediately apparent there's an
actual missing variable until you view the source. This is no good.
