Why getblock and getblocktemplate are reporting different transactions count?

For example, http://blockexplorer.com/block/00000000000000071ff9019ce6bd5150ed4828e6724e9ee86206168901fd3f30
getblock prints 652 txs.
getblocktemplate prints 319 only.

The same is for all blocks I've check.

Is it because getblocktemplate filters txs on some criteria?

getblock prints 652 txs.
getblocktemplate prints 319 only.

They perform two vastly different operations.

getblock returns a block minted in the past.  getblocktemplate returns a block to be minted in the future.
