Sure... but theming a blog is a bit simpler than theming a framework  
with 60 applications...

Okay, in general, this sounds fine. The question is, _how_ do you want  
to do this?

I don't want to maintain two versions of Horde at the same time for  
this. New UI/layout functionality should go into Horde 4, and it is  
certainly on the table for it.

Sure.

Great! I'd love to see some more detailed proposals.
