mhm.. it sounds interesting for me too.. even i think i have seen some
similar concept.
but here, the themes were shown only in a different "view".. called
map-view (which avoids a bit confusion).
I see the idea rathe as an add-on.. that means as a concept that is on
the same level as a layer. And most important, that one does not need to
create a theme to show data, i.e. layer is still enough but "theme" if
for those who want to make maps.
i would be interest too what other people do think about this proposal.
