Fantastic idea. I'm all for it. But on behalf of people using other template 
engines, will it work with anything but phptemplate?

Again an excellent idea, and whilst doing it all at once is a big job it

Which makes it even easier. Nice.

Not so excited about that one. I've got BBEdit, Smultron, Dreamweaver, 
Quanta Plus and CSSED. Professional tools win out over in page editors every 
time :)

Still, I can see that certain people and companies using Drupal would 
welcome that.

That's also excellent!

I don't suppose we could also say that modules don't need to ship with their 
own CSS files could we?
