1. Is this necessary? What if we always set the value into the control and
the owner of the theme can control whether it shows up? That saves us one
more "bit" of data (I'm mostly thinking complexity exposed to user).
2. Cool. This is what makes me wonder if #1 is necessary.
Overall, seems reasonable. One new question:
3. What is difference between "text" and "data". What do those end up
showing in the UI like?
