[wp-testers] Default theme

[Sean Hayford O'Leary]

Classic's cleaner than Kubrick, but it still leaves some to be
desired. I think it'd be good for it to be XHTML 1.0 Strict-compliant
or 1.1.

Another frustration with the default theme is the HTML notes left in
there (e.g., "leave this for stats" next to the generator meta tag or
"you can start editiing here" in the comments template). Would there
be problems with replacing these with PHP /* comments */ instead?

I agree about images... and I think we should keep CSS use to a
minimum. Why variable-width?

RE: 2.2 -- that's reasonable. There are more important things that
should be attended to.
