Having said all this, cb_entryparser doesn't really seem like the right
callback for what you want to do. You don't really want to change how
the entry is parsed from file, just how the entry is rendered. Maybe a
cb_postformat plugin that adds a 'template_name' key to the entry_data
dict. cb_postformat gets an entry_data dict already parsed from file and
the request object as its arguments, so it seems well placed to add or
not add a 'template_name' key to entry_data based on the contents of the
request.

Also, if you write a cb_postformat plugin then you might be able to
contribute something to the currently empty 'Writing a postformatter
plugin' section in the docs!

http://pyblosxom.sourceforge.net/1.5/dev_writing_plugins.html#writing-a-postformatter

Maybe there are some examples of postformatter plugins in the plugin
registry, I'm not sure.
