You can have separate "page templates" for each module right now,
allowing you to have different block combinations or layout per module
(within the same theme).

In the articles module, you can also have separate "page templates"
for each publication type.

Not that Xaraya 1.0 is perfect in every way of course :) For instance,
you can't really navigate by category across your site (except within
e.g. articles), and there are no category-dependent templates either.
Gives us something to experiment with for later versions... :-)
