Scratch

The purpose of this theme is that it can be used to start a new theme from, eeehh, well… scratch.
So the theme itself is as empty as can be. That way there is no need to remove everything every time a new theme has to be developed.

All blocks that can be placed in a region are removed from the page-template. Only the standard regions are available.
In the CSS only the positioning of the regions is done, in a way that a lot of projects will probably use. This way the site remains usable (although that is not the first purpose of this theme, I found this a very small compromise as the CSS for this is very light).

A second purpose for this theme is that now you can finally see in a glimpse what has been styled by Drupal core and the various modules. Than you can decide if and how to overwrite that. There are of course very sofisticated tools to dissect the CSS of a site (Firebug, Xyle Scope) but this is a very lightweight and simple solutions without the need to dig deep into the code.
