The templates are too rigid - imagine tagging your pictures using
templates, you would probably give up soon.

What I am planning to do is to (i) migrate all existing IPTC locations
fields to a hierarchical keyword structure as used by digiKam, (ii) use
the digiKam interface to add location keywords to images (as any other
tags), (iii) before archiving, copy the location keywords also to IPTC
location fields.

Where (i) and (iii) could be done by a script outside of digiKam,
possibly also taking care about proper conversion of UTF-8 to plain
ASCII in the latter step.
