Just to add a further negative to this idea - most users have no design sense 
and no taste. Giving them control of layout and colour is mostly going to result 
in sites with bad designs and bad usability (lack of contrast between colours etc).

Yes, you can come up with a restricted set of things they can change, but you're 
not only making you theme creation job harder, you're also removing most of the 
reason for doing it in the first place.

Good designs are created by good designers. Great designs are also targeted to a 
specific purpose. Trying to create these über themes that do everything for 
everybody will force you to do lowest common denominator design, and at best 
you'll end up with capable mediocrity.
