hello,

principle thought ...

if i read this

http://drupal.org/node/157380

i think, maybe we should change the general drupal markup rules:

only the minimum classes and id's and no surrounding stuff anymore, because in nearly every situation we have surrounding elements in the page, which
can help us to format something inner - extremly for example is a block-list-view ...

if you want smart, clean code now, you have do overwrite so much stuff ...
maybe we should turn this around: only if you need more markup, you have to overwrite ...

greetings momper

I must agree with this.

The amount of superfluous code Drupal tends to spit out is atrocious. Fixing all that with custom templates can reduce the size of your code by 75% or more, and I think at that point it's getting ridiculous.

Is there perhaps a set of minimal templates I've been overlooking? Sure, I can do it manually, but I'm sure others have already done that a hundred times!
