Though as Andrew pointed out, you can apply the same/similar theme to 
both sites and then it might look like its "one website" to the users.  
Even though you're managing two completely distinct systems in the 
background.

This brings up the interesting issue of what is the ontological status 
of "website".  Is it the domain?  Is it the software on the domain?  Is 
it the user's experience of the content on the domain?
