Core/Tabula Rasa: Questions/Things to Investigate/Suggestions

-- Why is the title of the tags box on the Tags page an H2 and not an H3 as in entries?

-- Why do management links LIs have an additional class (.link) whereas Interaction links LIs don't?

-- Why do entries have an extra, nameless DIV before .contents whereas comments don't? What's it for?

-- Why do entries use .datetime, .date, and .time and comments only .datetime?

-- Why aren't there any headings for days on Month pages? Does making them DTs make it pointless for screenreaders?

-- Why is the date repeated twice on Day pages (you've got the page title which is an H2 and is equal to the date, then the date again in an H3 and the entry titles in H3s too)?

-- I'm quite confused about .module-wrapper. For entries and comments, you've got a wrapper around *each* entry and *each* comment but for modules the wrapper is around a whole section, not individual modules. Why?

-- It's pretty hard to style the Mass Action area. Could label and such have IDs or classes?

-- Most things which are repeated twice in the page get a top/bottom selector but .comment-pages don't. Could it be added?

-- There aren't any props for entry text font. What do you say about adding them? (The topic's just come up in a bug I'm fixing).

-- Styling the Tags page is not easy as there are no containers between the box title and the list. Could we add at least a DIV? I would suggest duplicating the entry structure but that would mess up quite a few styles so maybe just a div with a unique name so we can at least have a container before content.

-- Several elements get printed even when they don't have any content. While userpic and navigation are now easy to style when empty, poster isn't. You need something like six or seven selectors to catch all the pages where a poster is printed. Could we had something to make this easier? Maybe an empty class too.
