The way I think of it:

o  The DRI document is a bag into which various Aspects throw
   possibly-useful data for which they are responsible.

o  The Theme selected for a page *consumes* the DRI document and
   writes a new XHTML document, possibly using data which it has
   picked out of the DRI document.

o  The DRI document has structure so that *Themes* can navigate it.
   That structure has no essential connection with the structure of
   the final page rendered to the user.  Themes do selection and
   layout.

o  There are DRI elements whose names sound like those of XHTML
   elements, but e.g. dri:div and xhtml:div are not the same object
   and instances can be related in any way that is useful to the
   Theme.

The DRI document is a very abstract idea of what the final page may
contain.  The point of having an intermediate representation is to
separate content generation from page layout.
