Since your original assumption, that saving bandwidth is important, is
false, the whole plan kind of falls apart doesn't it?

There are plenty of ideas floating around about carrots and sticks that
receivers can use to persuade senders to behave better, but offloading
template expansion is so far off the radar that metaphors fail me.
