but it seems like you really wouldn't be editing those all that often.. and if you laid you xhtml right the first time, a little <style></style> in the node body goes a long way. Seems like overkill when the technology is already there.
I think Adrian and I are talking about "designs" that are simply not possible ATM. I have seen page.tpl.php files that have huge if()s around the whole <body> tags, I have seen mytheme_page() function overwrites that choose One of a list of special-page-*.tpl.php. I have seen people including home-page.tpl.php files and so on.
All that to achieve very different layouts for some parts of your site. If we had a default mechanism for that, as well as being able to edit/create such special layouts on the site, it would make things a lot simpler.
So: a lot of sites will not need to override theyr themes in the database, so purely web-editable-themes are a bit silly imo. But another lot of sites, will need some flexibility to redesign certain pages in a breeze. Being able to do that from the database (add special theme page » edit xhtml » save) could be the simplest way to achieve that.
