The way I'm approaching this is to create a "hybrid" of a conventional CMS (WordPress or Drupal) where the user authentication etc. can be handled by a (html/php) CMS and orbeon deals with the xforms embedded in iframes.

PHP WordPress (or other CMS such as Drupal - but a bit tougher to learn) can run on same tomcat server as orbeon .. deploying quercus servlet (http://www.caucho.com).

Or you can setup a front end Apache server with backend tomcat server (orbeon).

Consider WordPress or Drupal as your xforms "container" and you can wrap different menus and themes around your xforms.

...

There might be other ways of achieving this (user management and theming) entirely in orbeon .. but I haven't worked it out yet.   So Orbeon is my xforms engine and the rest is done in a conventional CMS.
