Hi,

Have you looked at the Deliverance tool or using Diazo separately from 
your Plone site? These act as theme proxy servers. I'm using Deliverance 
and it's really handy to have the theme machinery separate from the 
Plone web site. I can always go to my Plone site directly and skip the 
theme engine.

The theme and the rules are largely the same.

HTH,
