I added a bug report but I noticed incidentally just now in a site I  
have:

$(highlights:descriptor/testimonial()):outlinedbox(title="Highlights")$

which applies a template to the highlight descriptors, takes the  
value, and puts box around whole thing using an arg of a title!   
Seems to me you can do this already.

Not as clear I think.  You're saying how not what you mean.
