That does make sense. The API support for this is pretty thin at the moment:
JS API:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/shindig/trunk/features/src/main/javascript/features/skins/

All this does essentially is invent (another) way to pass a string/string
map to an API for consumption by gadgets as they wish. There's a few
standard keys with implied correlated value types, but not too many.

On the server side, we implement "hangman" variable substitution as well:
__SKIN_foo__ resolves to the same value as gadgets.skins.getProperty("foo")
-- but this isn't implemented in Shindig.
