Yes. The rationale is that you may not want the Dijit theme to apply to
your entire page, but may only want it selectively around certain areas
of your page -- forms, for instance, or accordion containers.

The problem with this is that ZF actually doesn't know what your markup
will look like. While Zend_Dojo_Form will create a form, and could
potentially wrap it in a <div> with the dijit theme class set, it's also
entirely possible that you'll be setting the dijit theme later in the
request lifecycle -- for instance, in the layout file. As such, it
becomes very difficult -- if not impossible -- to do this automatically
in a consistent way.
