What's wrong with merging xwt.theme and your proposed xwt.standard?
Specifically, what functionality would be lost if we did this?

I also think it's somewhat awkward to hardcode the equivalent of
'xwt.overlay("xwt.theme", "xwt.standard")' into the engine.

By the way, I think it's a really bad idea to use the term
"xwt.standard" for this.  It's hugely confusing since xwt.standard is
(currently) the namespace for all the standard widgets, not the
standard theme.  You should pick another name to avoid confusion.

Yes.  When you overlay something on xwt.theme, it will have no effect
on your app, because you're pulling all your widgets from
xwt.standard.

This _will_ _not_ _work_.
