Without Nathan's questions this wouldn't have come out... :-)

When you make the static call Velocity.getTemplate(), you are using the
singleton model. When several instances of Velocity cannot share the
same configuration (for instance if they use different loaders), this
singleton model becomes unusable. That's why the good pratice is to keep
references on VelocityEngines rather than to initialize the static
Velocity object.

This is all explained here :
