I think your point is well taken, but I disagree on the original, it was not usable either. I do hard core css work for clients, and we'd never use the TG one as a starting point. A good solution would be to break the css into three files: layout.css - layout only, can be based on one of the css frameworks text.css - text formatting only ( fonts, letter spacing, etc ) turbogears.css - the stuff that pulls in the visually appealing bits, all images can be done as background images, colours as background colours. If we do the above, all people have to is delete turbogears.css and they wind up with what you are looking for with an A! Hey, this is actually something around here I'm qualified to do. Florent, if you want help with that I'd be happy to do so.
