That would certainly be a welcome feature to add, so
that any theme that wanted to make use of it could.
It's a very good idea.
However, I don't think that themes should be thought
to be deficient if they don't predefine faces.
IMHO, it's fine for a theme to not define any faces,
just as it's fine for a theme to not set any variable
values. And it's fine for a theme to define some
faces or variables but not others.
And it's fine for a theme to define 8 million faces
and variables, including - or not - faces and vars
defined by emacs -Q.
