It's funny you should say that, I was thinking the same but one doubt 
prevented me from saying as much in my previous email. That is, do we not 
have some consistency between themes?

On the one hand, it's great if we'll let theme designers do whatever they want 
in terms of the information they display, but on the other, would it not 
possibly cause confusion among users?
