The template resources don't actually need to retain any state, so they are good candidates to be data sources. This includes a few tweaks to the acceptance tests -- now configured to run as unit tests -- since it seems that they have been slightly broken for a while now. In particular, the "update" cases are no longer tested because updating is not a meaningful operation for a data source.
