Agreed, that was the point I started to make but ended up shifting my opinion half way through my post. I may have been wrong - it happens more frequently than not :-)

EDIT: I see Andrew partially disagrees with me on what constitutes a maemo app. That's fine. I just think that most of what dkwatts listed are support files, not apps-- BUT I do think maemo should broaden to embrace them (not the Flash).
Agreed again. Certainly there's nothing inherent in the current downloads system which'd prevent themes or (collections of) backgrounds being added to downloads.maemo.org. As Benson pointed out, user styles aren't so easy to mix & match, and non-maemo specific Flash games would be a bit of a tough sell.

maemo-specific Flash apps/games shouldn't have any problem, though, IMHO.
