The idea would be - create the site with compliant XHTML and CSS. Use CSS
for all design but allow people to still change various things in the HTML.

For example - if people could simply add a header and footer only. You would
still be able to do quite a bit. Especially adding that navigation.

To move things around within the Mailman (like forms, logos, etc...) you
would simply edit the CSS.

I personally feel this is the simplest way to implement design changes.

Right now you are allowed to edit the HTML and move the Mailman Templating
Language around. 


Side note for Brian:
------------------------
Try structuring your navigation using nested unordered lists.

Example:
<ul>
    <li>link 1</li>
    <li>link 2</li>
    <li>link 3
    <ul>
        <li>sublink</li>
        <li>sublink</li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li>link 5</li>
    <li>link 6</li>
</ul>
