[wp-testers] Problem with admin area having id="footer" for the admin footer area and appearance -> widgets

[Administrator]

Strictly from a tester's/heavy user's standpoint, I'd rather have issues 
with the footer than I would with the widgets.  You'll have a larger number 
of issues just by shear volume of differences..  TTW seems to work well, (I 
would think) because it was designed to accomodate the widgets area by using 
a prefix.  So lease give this some consideration before a knee-jerk change 
is initiated.
