this is the best way to view text as its easiest on the eye.

Is that ever going to make it into future releases?

I completely agree ; I think blueprintCSS is the perfect complement to the Zen theme.
I used blueprint on my website (www.sandgarden.org), and it is also great when you use it with tinyMCE : you can apply the classe in order to change the width and position of any element (headers, paragraphs, images, etc.)
I'm not promising anything, but when I get some time I would definitely try to build a blueprint-ified version of Zen.
Question is : do you guys think it would be a good idea to make that version the official Zen ?
Do you think it's appropriate ? I do, but I am not involved in this as much as others, so I can't speak for the group.

I like to put together a lib of css that works with zen and I have started and use my blueprint grid to start most of my site.

Title: Make BluePrint CSS the standard text layout » Make Blueprint CSS an optional layout method

I haven't looked at Blueprint, but I'm hearing good things about it. At least, better things than I heard about YUI grids. :-p

I don't think this would replace the default layout method in Zen, but it certainly could be one of the layout options that Zen provides.

That's why the current layout method is encapsulated in the layout-*.css file. So you can easily swap it out with a different method.

I know you love Zen as much as I do, but you could also check out http://drupal.org/project/blueprint

Version: 5.x-1.x-dev » 6.x-2.x-dev
Component: Code » layout.css

I figure this won't be happening for 5.x-1.x-dev as originally requested, but maybe for 6.x-2.x-dev ?

About Blueprint for Zen, there is now a very similar solution, a Zen sub-theme for easy grid layout, Zen nineSixty. It's derived from the NineSixty base theme, a Drupal implementation of the well-known 960 Grid System for rapid web development, even with complex layouts. NineSixty and Zen nineSixty feature optional content-first source order (swapping display order with NineSixty's pull & push classes).

The 960 grid system is similar to Blueprint, with 12 or 16 instead of 24 columns, and 20px instead of 10px gutters between columns. The new drupal.org theme (site redesign project) is 960.gs-derived, like NineSixty and Zen nineSixty.
