Yes, I mean u/i.

I agree it's not the best to have everything editable. However, that said,
if we do quite a bit of it in CSS, with everything nicely structured and
semantic - people should be able to do quite a bit with the CSS file as far
as look and layout.

Example: CSS Zen Garden
http://csszengarden.com/

This was a project in which designers had to come up with various designs
for the same site. The only catch was that they couldn't touch the HTML and
could only change the CSS to make their designs come alive.

Using this method, I think we can offer people a huge amount of flexibility
by allowing them to change one single CSS file.

This is however, just one idea and much more conversation is needed.
