My goals with the theme I've been working on have been simplicity, and the ability to get css to hook onto just about anything. One method that I used to accomplish this was to cut down on Classes and IDs where two things shared attributes.
For example - A node and a comment both have an author name. So I used the same class declaration for each. This way if someone simply wants all author names to be styled the same way there it can be accomplished in one place, and with less css. If they wanted to make a comment author name different it would be as easy as specifying the ID "comment" before it's subclass.

Agreed, the default page.tpl.php should be sexy along with the default CSS. Should be a nice, extendable theme.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder :) I would strive for clean and well throught out.
Right now, things are progressing in this area and hopefully we'll have some code soon to start testing.k
