It's a challenge allright, but I have to say, I don't think CSS is actually
able to do what you're saying. Too much of CSS is dependent of the order of
items, that I doubt you'd have enough flexibility to design whatever you want,
purely with CSS.

If you were not able to modify the underlying HTML you'd be restricting what
you can do.

However, having said that, it is a good idea for a CMS to have lots of hooks
for CSS so that it can be well styled, and avoid editing the HTML as much as
possible, but it's simply not mature enough to layout and entire site with,
from generic HTML.

(also, on another note, different pages should have different HTML, since you
have a different document, with slightly different semantic structure)
One-size might not suit all.
