Attached is a quick and dirty patch that creates a dummy class so that 
$GLOBALS['SOBE']->doc exists in a frontend context and has a valid 
template instance.  It's far from an optimal solution but maybe it will 
spur some discussion about possible solutions.

I'm cross-posting this to the 4-3.general list and setting the follow up 
there for any further discussions.

Thanks!
