I was thinking it would be *everything* in this template along. 
Other components (like boxes, the main template itself, etc.) would 
use the normal theme.

But we can add another flag ('set_global' or something) to change 
the theme for the whole request as well. OR maybe just a single flag 
  ('set_for_request' or something) to tell OI to use this theme for 
the rest of *this* request, which includes the main template.

Right.

That makes sense.
