Yes, that’s one of the drawbacks that I mentioned.

Most frameworks are hard to use piecemeal, and a bit pointless, because their 
raison d’être is to enforce consistency.

I don’t see anything much different in the philosophy of Skeleton from the 
others, but maybe I’m missing something.

That’s a theoretical benefit that may or may not happen, but you’re ignoring 
much more serious obstacles: frameworks like Skeleton just don’t have the 
functionality that we need. Look through the Skeleton examples and you’ll see 
what I mean.

I think it would be helpful to understand more what the problem is that you’re 
trying to solve? If it’s that the TW5 themes have some crufty and confusing 
CSS, then I think there’s easier ways to fix it than trying to reuse something 
that was designed for a totally different purpose.

A TW theme is generally just CSS but it can include other components like any 
other plugin. One could indeed create a new theme without disturbing the 
underlying HTML generated by TW, but I suspect that in practice one would end 
up tweaking some things in the HTML.

Best wishes
