I don't know exactly what you mean but the answer is probably no.
For example, I want the author to state the title, keywords, etc of
his document, however, he should not state that he wants the title
printed centred and 4cm from the top of the page.

The latter is defined in the "theme" which will be given as a set of
ordinary LaTeX commands (for the LaTeX backend).

Tschö,
Torsten.
