Personally I think we should strive to give a graphic artist as much
freedom as we can without allowing them to breaking the flow table
layout - i.e. the layout in Glom should match the layout in Online
Glom. What I was trying to say is that I'm beginning to realize that
there will more freedom to adjust the horizontal aspects of the
LayoutItems than the vertical aspects.

Thankfully the only time that is required for theming is the time
necessary to decide if the CSS property needs to be set with GWT or in
style.css. I suspect that some CSS properties that seems static now
will need to be set with GWT dynamically. We'll only know this further
down the road if we get another theme and start working editing
support. I'm not working on the theming support right now, so we don't
have to decide anything just yet.
