Tee,
This is an interesting question. My personal opinion is that the YUI
Grid approach is wrong. Basically you end up choosing your markup and
class/id values based on how you want it to appear. You can modify the
Grid CSS to use semantically relevant selectors but at the end of the
day I think it's much easier to just do things yourself. I think the
system goes against the principles of seperating content from presentation.
It's probably a useful tool for people inexperienced with CSS to get a
design up and running, but anyone who actually knows CSS shouldn't be
using the framework.
You should probably ask the client why they want to use YUI, it might be
so that they can modify the design themselves, any of the other benefits
of using it should already be covered anyone who is half-decent at
markup/css.

I did a site, now client's client was wondering if I can update the
markup I did to YUI. Very strange request to me. All those benefits
listed in the grids' page, I have already covered most of them, and I
honestly don't think my layout will be worse than the example
templates of the grid CSS.
