Similar here. The Doogie template has the advantage of a fixed max-width which Lex wants. Basically, we could add the missing "meta links" to the Doogie template by hacking them into it. But this reduces maintenability of course. However, I don't want to make the decision about which template to use, I'd just like to configure the one you chose :). For me, the content is more important and I just don't know not enough about web design and all the criteria about usability and accessibility and all these things.
