 I propose that we bundle the [http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/
 Sandbox] theme with !WordPress.

 Sandbox is a theme which is loaded with semantic CSS selectors, making it
 possible to write beautiful WordPress themes with only modifying CSS. In
 addition, it is already widgets-friendly, and is licensed under the GPL,
 making it perfectly compatible with !WordPress in legal terms.

 There is a great deal of support for the theme out on the
 [http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-hackers wp-hackers] list.
 Bundling Sandbox has come up a few times, with general support from all
 directions, but nothing has really happened.

 In addition to bundling Sandbox, I propose, for {{{style.css}}}-only
 themes, that Sandbox is made the default template. (e.g. without having to
 specify {{{/* Template: sandbox */}}})

 The rationale for this is that Sandbox is much easier to theme with just
 CSS, and is much more useful than using the Kubrick template, which
 doesn't contain as many selectors.
