I put the path there, just in case someone came up with a reason to use it
and because it was available.

The main reason for overriding this method is because other objects in
addition to the JPublishContext may (and in our case do) need to be in the
root context for the template. We have some custom transforms and freemarker
methods which need to be in the root. Also, we utilize some of the wrappers
for request parameters, etc.

I thought this would make it more flexible for customization and allow to
reuse as much existing code as possible.
