Of course they should be outside of web server root (although they're  
rather harmless, because the template code is in a function. The compiled  
template files when executed from outside will not execute template code  
and will not reveal any data).

I assume the extra protection is needed to protect from other users that  
have access to the file system or just to harden website against attacks.
