These are all good ideas. My only question is what version do you do 
it in? Are we really going to invalidate all the existing themes for 
1.4.1 on the release of 1.4.2?

Second, if you are going to do this for stories, how many other 
places can and should it be done? How about the system message in 
lib-common? Shouldn't it be CSS as well? I'm sure there are many 
places where adding CSS would help. Perhaps they should be identified 
and included in such a change.

Third, this reminds me. Is there a roadmap for future development? 
Even if it's just a todo list in someone's brain, does it exist at 
all? Geeklog just seems so directionless these days.
