I think the problem with going that route is that it's too easy to fall 
into the rut of a structure that is going to change. We don't have a 
whole lot of confusion surrounding most of the interface, no one says "I 
wonder what title is I need some documentation for that," they say "how 
the hell do I make my blog blue and have alternating comments."
