New MIDI tracks in Pro Tools 10 are always created at 96 "volume", which is actually MIDI velocity level. And if I save and close my template with the tracks set to 127, it opens/creates new sessions with them at 96.
Anyone know how to make Pro Tools default "volume" (velocity) for *new* MIDI tracks 127 instead of 96?

No. It's a pain in the a** so I never use the MIDI volume fader. (That's not where you set the default MIDI note velocity BTW.)
I've found you need to write a MIDI volume event of 127 at the start of the track to make it stick which is why I never use it. If you don't touch it VIs will play at their default volume which is what I personally prefer.
I find it much neater to adjust overall instrument volume with the Instrument Track fader so you can use break point/node based automation and automate expression (MIDI CC11) for dynamics.
