This template will be mapped by convention to the Hello module.
The Hello module picks the message to display via the URL:
index.html#/hello/:msg
You could easily fetch the template via a cached ASP.Net Controller,
using AJAX.
-->
<script id="hello.tmpl" type="text/html">
<p>Hello <span data-bind="text: message"></span>!</p>
</script>
<script id="bye.tmpl" type="text/html">
<p>Bye <span data-bind="text: message"></span>!</p>
</script>
<!-- Just some fake menu -->
<a href="#/hello/sire">Hello</a>
<a href="#/bye/sire">Bye</a>

This is where the template will be loaded and where the Knockout
magic will take place.

If you like you could have custom non viewmodel routes mapped.
E.g reguest for index.html#/users
app.router.register('users', function (req) {
console.log(req);

E.g reguest for index.html#/users/daniel
app.router.register('users/:name', function (req) {
console.log(req);

//binding context. This is into where the HTML-template
