[support] Templating in Drupal 5.1 - the cleanest way to do it?

[Larry Garfield]

Defining no regions like that should make all your regions disappear; not the whole page.  At least I think so, as I've never tried. :-)  Remember that the main body of the site does not appear in a block region.

Primary and secondary links are site-wide.  If you want a given menu to appear only on one part of the site, I'd suggest not using primary/secondary links at all but instead using a menu block.  You can enable/disable that block separately for each theme and even based on the path within the site.  You can also put a menu block in a header block region and CSS it to be horizontal (I think <g>).  

Cheers.
