Here my opinion;
1) imho the default should be more neutral. Means don't use different 
fonts for e.g. header 2 and header 3. Title can be different imho but 
should still be readable and more neutral.
2) the header's should have numberings enabled per default
3) Why is one of the headers named "ing 1" and the others "header 2", 
"header 3", etc.?
4) I would prefer Sans over Sarif for the textbody as well. It's easier 
to read and the subpixel-prob isn't as visible with it.
5) I like the preformatted text very much. Pretty cool :-)

I guess especially for the default template, which I hope this is 
becoming once tweaked a bit, we can ask what audience we like to target. 
At least boemann and myself defined the typical 
(informatics/maths/physics-)student as target interesting. So, neutral, 
professional, simple comes here to my mind.

But then as Jaroslaw wrote we indeed could target way more users by 
providing more then one template. Think of one for designers, one for 
artists, etc. pp. We could then either ship with more then one (well, we 
already do but then are not really that good) and/or over them to 
download e.g. via GetHotNewStuff (KGHNS).
