Another route to go would be to use a single theme, and then have XSL logic
that changes the behavior of item-view, depending on that metadata value.
In my theme I've been changing the display behavior depending on the
mimetype of the bitstreams (audio, video, document), as well as metadata
values, ex ds.firstpage.side=left [2] alters the bookreader to have a the
first page of a scanned book display on the left side of a bookreader spine.

I'm longing to add a Collection Configuration page, where you could add
some configuration values to a collection, and then have the theme change
actions based on that. i.e. collection.map.show = true
