But the problem with that is that 'common.fv' stops working. I think
we need to clarify this as the docs (which I had a hand in writing)
say that common.fv sets the same view (I'm using view in the sense
that it's a set of contracts, hooks and css links in a .fv file which
lay out the structure of an output document - correct me if that's not
the meaning of view) for all the documents unless overridden. I
doesn't say that this is also sets the theme to 'common'. I'm getting
confused here over whether the 'common' in 'common.fv' is related to
the 'common' in the theme 'common' or whether we are just using the
same term with a different meaning in a different context.

That's correct: 'Pult' is a copy of Pelt, and it's at
\$ProjectHome\src\documentation\resources\themes\pult\
