This could spark some interesting discussion and I wholly admit may not be the best idea but was curious about whether we should be implementing a more advanced theme UI.

I really like how Omega lets you manage your grid in the User Interface and toggle the non needed css there as well.

The only problem with Omega's implementation is it makes too many choices and forces you to use the .grid-container and .grid-x syntax. This made it virtually impossible for me to use Omega as I can't change the markup at all. (GoC Government Mandated)

I know Zen focuses more on getting out of the way and making minimal decisions. Would it be possible to build a more agnostic grid system that relies on the UI.

I'd be willing to help as much as I can on this. Or also get some feedback on other better ways to accomplish this (module, panels, display suite) etc.

The Spark project is working on a UI that allows you to create responsive layouts. It looks really awesome and is exactly the way I would implement it, except I've never been given the $$ to implement it. http://drupal.org/project/spark

Also, I think this functionality is something that needs to be done at the module-level. It can't be done at the theme-level without a really awkward theme settings page.
