Ah, good to know. I must admit that Vector's code is a bit more complicated
than your average skin's...currently the old, SkinTemplate-based Vector skin
works, but it doesn't support fancy things like SkinAfterSidebar hook, for
example. If you (or someone else from the usability team) would like to
start rewriting it, feel free to! :-)

Not yet at least, the indentation/newlines aren't consistent yet. Then
again, Brion removed some unnecessary whitespace in r55496 for JavaScript
variables in <head>, so I dunno how important it is to have everything
indented properly in the HTML output.

Thanks and regards,
