This would be stuff like headers, footers, sidebars, etc. From there, you could use variables to set things like titles, stylesheets, nav items, etc. I've had to do this recently on a project that was written as a bunch of static files. At worst, you could update the page2 templating engine to account for your new elements. But like I said, I think the very style page2 uses is extremely limiting, and will make maintenance later on.
