[UPHPU] "design standardization" thoughts

[Daniel C.]

I've been thinking about "design standardization" for a while now.
The basic idea is to create a set of definitions for different
elements and IDs, such that developers can mark up their pages using
the standard and then put any design that obeys the standard on top of
their markup. Some examples of what might go into the standard:

    * h1 is used at the beginning of a distinct block of content. An
h1 always denotes the beginning of a new distinct block.
    * h4 is used within a distinct block of content, and does not
denote the start or end of a distinct block.
    * The #submenu ID identifies a secondary navigation block, which
may or may not be present on any given page. It should only be applied
to a ul or ol.
    * The .quote class represents a pullout quote, and should always
be within a p tag that's inside of the #content div.
    * Any p within the #content ID should be considered as primary site content.

These examples are contrived and the list is incomplete.  It's meant
to demonstrate the idea, not to serve as an actual spec.  But it
should give an idea of how such a spec could let content authors
create sites that can use more than one design and designers create
stylesheets that can be applied to more than one site, without
specifically tailoring their markup or design (respectively) for each
other.

Thoughts, suggestions, criticisms?
