Upgrading a 9.8.2 template to 9.9

There were a number of template changes from 9.8.2 to 9.9. The main reasons for these changes are

Remove PHP code from the TPL files
Prepare them for 1.0 which will allow multiple languages

Many of the changes were done to help eliminate the need for the developers to force template changes in the future.

It is recommended you use a program like WinMerge to compare your template to the yget 9.9 template.
