Don you said:
context bar's a biggy. So are the headers that so many packages put
out arbitrarily. I've done several sites where we've suppressed
those by ripping code out of huge numbers of scripts where one
could just leave them out of the master template if they're
properties passed up the hierarchy.
I am not sure what you mean by "headers", do you just mean title
and context bar or something else? There do not seem to be
to many that actually use header_stuff (there are some with style sheets local like directory and I think bug tracker).
If there is something I should be fixing besides floating title and
context up to the sitewide master let me know. I have not fiddled
with the local css...
