new template.php ends in a ajax call to the editor, so it's not one block
of PHP but one process. New template ends, echoes out a template id, which
the ajax gets, and then fires off the editor.
If the editor isn't working, I am suspecting it might be the template is
weird? Is it definitely Nottingham? Not one of the old mediainteraction
ones or something?
