The maincss.css style sheet contains 11 styles starting with ".box" - I would 
like to see those go away. Here's why...

Long ago, those styles were combined to create screenlets. The problem was, 
some developers would use some of the .box styles to style things that were not 
screenlets (or screenlet elements). So, any attempt to restyle screenlets would 
unintentionally restyle unrelated screen elements.

Today, we do things differently - CSS styles style containers and their 
contained elements. For example, screenlet title bars have one style that 
styles all of its contained elements. The bottom line is, three styles 
(screenlet, screenlet-title-bar, screenlet-body) replace those previous 11 
styles. So, it would be best to use the screenlet styles instead.

I'm not suggesting that we embark on a massive effort to remove those styles. 
Like before, just try to replace them when you come across them. In time, they 
can be removed from the maincss.css style sheet.

Let me know what you think.
