I apologize if any of this has been discussed before. I looked around
but didn't find much.

There are a couple things I think could be improved with the default
project skeleton made by quickstart. Let me know if there is good
reasoning behind any decisions that have already been made regarding
these. Some changes I'd like to see:

1. XHTML instead of HTML 4.01. This was a surprising change in
behavior, wasn't XHTML the old default? Now this is just something else
I have to go and change in app.cfg for every single project I create.

2. A default style.css. Creating a new file has slightly more overhead
than modifying an existing style. Does anyone NOT create
/static/css/style.css first thing after a new project?  I would be
surprised. Plus with all the new tools being added, there is bound to
be some default style included anyway; see the #pageLogin style now
included in master.kid by default.

3. As you may have read, I think attaching Identity to an app should
look a lot simpler if it's going to be in the default project. Right
now it adds an immediate learning curve because "hey, what's that
stuff?"

4. mochikit_all. This config option just stands out to me. I can
configure the output format and encoding of my Kid templates, but this
option flat out inserts some markup.  Besides the format and encoding
options, I feel like my template structures are entirely under my
control, only stuff I put in there will be in there. Maybe I'm just
really picky, but I feel like a new tag coming from a config option
undermines that control. Anyway, I could just leave this disabled and
add MochiKit manually if it ruffles my feathers so much...

Thanks for reading.
