the candidate skin has been updated based on feedback received thus far.  
you can try it yourself in the newskin branch, or see a snapshot here:

- there are two possible stats pages, statistics-a.inc and 
statistics-b.inc, only one of which can be enabled at a time (by inclusion 
in statistics.html.tmpl).  one could spend days designing the stats pages, 
as there are many different preferences and use cases for viewing the 
data.  i would like to settle on something that provides a reasonably 
detailed summary of statistics, and that illustrates the use of dot code 
and cheetah.

- i gave up on parameterizing all of the translatable text.  as a result, 
i18n will be a bit of a chore, and there will be duplication of 
function/format/layout for any translations.  but at this point i consider 
simplification of i18n as beyond the scope of this skin rewrite.

- celestial now includes daylight hours, and it has been tested for polar 
extremes (location, not temperature :)

- the summary stats table should now satisfy a broader set of use cases

- the main page index.html is still (intentionally) bland.  my focus has 
been information content and layout.  if someone has color palettes i'm 
happy to give them a try.

- the html, css, javascript are reasonably modular and generalized.  i'd 
say it is pretty close to the 80% of the 80-20 rule, but if i'm missing 
something, please chime in.
