I would really like to remove all extraneous divs and implement the 
theme('box')-approach, mentioned on the Drupal Conference by Ber 
Kessels..

I think that adding classes to elements other than a <div> should is 
good, because you do not use more markup than absolutely needed.
I think it would also be a good idea to completely minimize the 
drupal.css. We should get rid of all eye-candy things, and only leave 
in there which is _really_ important, or make it overrideable.. 
(Steven, I know your answer! ;-)

At last, i don't see what the problem is between applied CSS against a 
<ul>-element or <div>. With both approaches we can do exactly the same 
things, and can get the same results.

I truly think that the less html-markup we have in our code, the better 
it is.. And, _every_ piece of HTML should be overridable inside the 
theme.

So, imo breaking the themes for the introduction drupal 4.7 shouldn't 
be a big problem, but I would like to know how you guys think of that..


Kind regards,




Stefan
