There have been some plans to create a library of velocimacros for the
velocity-tools project.  At this point, that has not really begun, and the
specific goals and parameters of such a library have yet to be firmly
established.  However, I can say with some measure of confidence that it is
unlikely that an #html_ref  macro would be included.  At the moment, my opinions
on that are much the same as Lev's.  Such a thing adds as much complexity as it
would replace.  I do think though that useful, "standard" html macros can exist.
There are several I use often that I consider to be candidates for such a
library.
