These types of improvements to iUI should either be submitted as 
Mercurial changesets or patches to existing iUI files.  (If you really 
don't know how to do either, you can attach the entire changed file to 
the Issue in Google Code)  For styling changes like these it would be 
great to see iUI themes that can just be dropped in to an existing 
(0.40-based) project.

It doesn't have to be as advanced as MVC -- the theme system gives a 
good deal of flexibility and  being able to change an existing theme 
without using image editors is a definite advantage of the CSS gradient 
approach.

Separating the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is a  best  practice, but MVC 
usually involves more than just that level of separation.

Obviously, certain things like slide transitions and even orientation 
detection can't be done properly without JavaScript, but the CSS of iUI  
can be used for simple pages without including iui.js -- I'd certainly 
give a good look at any patches  to iUI that improved it's ability to be 
used in completely static pages without detracting from its features or 
reliability in the more typical configuration.  (We should probably 
start a new thread - here or in iui-developers - if we want to discuss 
this particular issue further as it's largely independent of the subject 
of CSS gradients.)
