I looked through the document and it seems very robust, but I figured I 
should throw out a scenario anyway to make sure I've got it.


Here's my example scenario and the steps to take if I'm understanding 
correctly:


I want to be able to install "myModule" in all my websites and on all my 
databases.  I install it in /install/modules/myModule .

On X.com I want myModule to display its output as B,A instead of the 
default A,B.  I upload a template override to 
/X.com/modules/myModule/templates/user-display.xt .

I now want to change the theme on X.com from xTheme to yTheme.  I 
install yTheme to to /install/html/themes/yTheme ( or to 
/X.com/html/themes/yTheme/ if I only want it available to X.com ) and 
change the setting in the theme module to use yTheme .


And now my site is in yTheme with the output still displaying B,A 
instead of the default A,B?


If this is the case, I love it!

The only remaining issue is that sometimes I want to make changes to all 
the sites on my install, and yet still upgrade and keep my changes.  In 
this scenario I think I would have to copy my changes to each 
instance.   But after upgrade they should still remain, which is a plus!
