You can replace the page tag entirely with your own content. You can
even still use the existing show, index, etc. pages with that by
providing a content parameter in your new page tag. There's a recipe
that goes through converting an existing layout to dryml which might
be more what you want.

Even though it shows extending the tag, you can just replace it.
<def tag="page">
<html>...
<div param="content" />
...
</def>
Getting rid of the prototype files is easy... getting rid of all the
parts that look for them might not be so easy. It's just public/
javascripts/prototype.js.
