I agree completely. I think there's a lot we could improve here, although it'll naturally be after 1.0. This might include revision control, higher level selection of template parts (e.g. checkboxes to include certain sections), etc. I don't have any bright ideas though.
I've taken to never removing anything from the HTML. I just comment stuff out all over the place.
