Howdy. I'm the guy on the YUI team who ported Handlebars to YUI, and I can't stress enough that this is not something new that we created. As the linked page clearly states right up at the top, Handlebars is an existing project (see http://handlebarsjs.com/ and https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/) originally started by Yehuda Katz. All we've done is wrapped the Handlebars source in a YUI module, added a little bit of sugar to make working with it from YUI easier, and written the documentation linked to by this post. These folks deserve all the credit for Handlebars itself: https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/contributors

I didn't see a target bootstrap version at http://bootswatch.com/spacelab/bootstrap.min.css Hence, I assumed that we had to compile the less files. Also, not everyone will be willing to move to the latest version of bootstrap. It might be easier to let github manage the multiple versions with a download page similar to this https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/downloads . Personally, I don't mind doing the extra step of lessc if I can get exactly what I want. Thanks for the effort.
