Yeah, you can put any of the listed fields anywhere.

I think it should be left up to the theme.  If a user wants to start
changing around things like that they can either get it modified in the
theme or make their own local copy in their ~/.mythtv/themes directory.

The keywords are stored in a QMap right now and each key/value pair gets
search-and-replaced in the original <value> text, so it's a lot easier
to use a single <value> field with %TITLE% type indicators than separate
xml <var> tags.
