(I don't have Plone2, so I could be waaaaay off base here.  But why should 
that stop me from posting?)

If we're shifting to CSS instead of tables for layout, the concept of IDs 
named by screen location should change.  Perhaps the IDs should have more 
functional descriptions like #heading, #navigation, #content, #tools, 
#contextual-tools, #footer and some such.  The CSS will determine where 
these are positioned.
