http://suckless.org/ is not style-free at all. Navigation is done using lists and there are divs with ids "container", "midHeader", "main-copy" and classes "left" and "right". If you disable CSS, all these lists can nearly fill entire screen and these divs are usless if you want to create your own style. IMO navigation lines on top should be done without lists like on http://cat-v.org/. Or, much better, navigation can be completely removed and replaced with simple links like on http://www.mutt.org/. Nice guidelines are already present on http://port70.net/webless/
