What is not passed along is information such as $user->myself (flag to say: I 
am passing you the same user that the page is served to) things like that. 

I usuually create all such flags and variables (including $user->nicename, 
compiled from certain profile fields) in the phptemplate variable.

But the thing is, that most of these flags, and namespaces require a lot of 
business logic. Therefore having more $user->thingies is IMO a good thing.
