I like the idea. But thinking further, I don't assume that people are  
going to update their company data that often. And I don't see how a  
comfortable template or CSS editing should work inside a browser.

I guess the question is, whether it would happen in the future that  
people are going to use these modules for more than a single company  
or set of companies, i.e. in a shared hosting environment. In this  
case we obviously can't require people to upload their templates in a  
configuration directory, but OTOH we still need shared templates for  
all users of a company/domain.

So I'm a bit torn if such a module really makes sense, though I can  
see the need for a solution.
