[Sputnik-list] blueprint

[Yuri Takhteyev]

Considering Lua list's reaction to the Nanoki demo's clean interface
and the fact that it's seems to be based on [blueprint][1] almost
without any custom CSS, I was wondering:

1. Would it make sense to move Sputnik's templates to blueprint and
get rid of most stylesheets.  (Or does anyone have recommendations for
alternatives.)
2. More generally, what do people think about the visual appearance?
Is there interest in a "cleaner" default?  No borders?  No underlining
for headers?  What might be a "cleaner" alternative to the current
menu bar?  (I've been thinking of making the menu bar optional, but
ultimately I don't think one can have a serious website without some
form navigation element on every page.)

In regard to question 1, note that blueprint requires a somewhat
non-semantic class names for divs.  But then the YUI framework that I
am using now has it's ugly side too.

On a somewhat related note: Nanoki supports search, but only for exact
match in page titles.  Sputnik supports full page search, but only for
pages that were indexed by google.  What makes more sense as default?
(I can add page title search quite trivially.)
