Well what you would get is a really empty document then - not pages, no font, 
no margins, no nothing - all of those decisions is what is stored in a 
template. Having to code all those decisions just for the sake of not loading 
a file with those decisions "coded" through a much nice user interface called a 
wordprocessor is well.. stupid.
