[giapeto] Giapeto usage - who relies on it?

There is one other way; If you can create these block templates with 
the (future) Giapeto theme editor only; you can auto generate the CSS 
stylenames. In this way you can prevent a collision of styles.

OK, I understand. But then we do need to be able to set permissions on 
who can modify the theme. (I'm already feeling a sick thinking about 
our commercial guys are able to chnage the theme ;-) )
