Are you saying you'd like something like this to be offered as an optional
alternative or to replace the current layout.html? I don't think we want to
have separate Ajax requests for every little piece of the layout.
Note, the current layout is already fairly modular, with separate blocks
for the head, center, sidebars, and footer. It also allows you to
conditionally include the left and right sidebars, Auth navbar, menu, logo,
flash message, page title, and subtitle (by setting various attributes and
global variables in the model, controller, and extending view code).
Maybe it would help if you provide some examples of what you are trying to
achieve so we can figure out the best approach. If you want to re-use
pieces of the layout in alternative layouts, perhaps we could put each
piece in a separate template file and then just use {{include ...}}statements
to insert them where needed. This would probably be much more
efficient than running multiple Ajax requests to get what could just as
easily be generated in a single request.
