I can't understand the reasoning for this.

Are you saying that 1) is theme independent code, then 2) is more theme 
independent code that needs to be preapplied to 3) that's theme 
dependent code?

What's the point?

Why can't you just have all your theme independent code in xwt.lib, and 
then your theme implementation in org.xwt.theme.<whatever>, and then 
this behavior separation tier I'm talking about in xwt.widget? With 
xwt.theme being a definition file for org.xwt.theme.<whatever>.

Why do you have to split it up twice before getting to the theme code? 
It's no use to a power developer, and it's no use to theme development.
