I talked to Chris Rankin yesterday about his Site Theme yesterday
discussed some modifications to his extension that would make it more
flexible in the way that you describe.

http://ext.radiantcms.org/extensions/207-site-theme

To me there are two major areas of improvement needed:

1. Making destruction of layouts, pages, and snippets optional

2. Creating a standard template specification that templates can
conform to (or not) at the author's discretion

The idea behind a standard template specification is that the names of
pages, page parts, snippets, and layouts should be consistent across
most templates. This would allow a high degree of reusability and make
theming much more flexible.

Chris was excited about both ideas but could probably use some help
with the implementation. Also I think it would be good to get a
consensus from the community on what the standard template
specification should be.
