[TYPO3-mvc] A layout/template structuring question

I'd do the following:

-- layout sidebar.html ---------------------------------
<div id="sidebar">
    <f:render section="sidebar" />
</div>
<div id="catalog-content">
   <f:render section="content" />
</div>

-- templateXY.html -------------------------------
<f:layout name="sidebar" />
<section name="sidebar">
   <f:render partial="sidebar" arguments="{foo:bar, settings:settings}" />
   <!-- if needed you could add additional content depending on the view	-->
</section>
<section name="content">
  ...
</section>

-- Partial sidebar.html -----------------------
your rendering setup
-----------------------------------------------
