I still haven't gotten a lot of feedback on UI and content separation of CSS which would solve much of this problem as you could create any number of arbitrary regions (like XFrames, but way cooler). UI exists outside of content and integration of the two is just painful as they require totally different styling techniques. -- Orion Adrian
