Comment:

 This is definitely pretty heavily theme-influenced, but we could improve
 the default gallery styling as well as maybe implementing a better JS-
 based experience for navigating through the single views, which themes
 could reskin or opt out of.

 Both Twenty Thirteen and Twenty Fourteen use the same (grid-view) gallery
 styling, so perhaps we could polish it (might need to improve the handling
 of captions, especially with touch, but that's the primary issue it
 addresses with the default styles) and make that the new default. For the
 single/flip-through view, I'm thinking improvements might still be plugin
 territory, but we could also build something cool there that themes could
 extend or opt-out of.

 Don't know any of the history here, though, so it might make just as much
 sense to wontfix this again.
