Firstly, let me say that blocktheme is an awesome little module.
Today though, I ran into an interesting case. I wanted to add a RSS feed icon into title of my "recent comments" block. Simple enough, took a matter of minutes to achieve. But then I thought, wouldn't it be really cool if I could say on the block page, use this blocktheme, and then specify a RSS feed to use with the theme, so that the theme becomes reusable rather than having the RSS feeds location hard-coded.
This becomes an even bigger thing when you look at theme developers who might like to include a bunch of blockthemes with their theme to cover cases like this: minor variations on a theme that would be desirable on a fairly regular basis.

I might take a shot at implementing this, along with having a look at #207969: There already exists a $custom_theme variable in Drupal - suggest using something else!, which would seem to be in the same place if I get a chance next week. This would be really cool to have though.
