I took a free CSS template at:

    http://www.free-css.com/free-css-templates/page2/minisite-pro.php

If I want to use it without modifying it, I have to follow such a construct
(taken from their live demo):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<body>
<div id="container">
  <div id="head">

    <h1 id="logo"><a href="/" title="Free CSS">Free CSS</a></h1>
    <p id="quote">Free CSS Templates, CSS Layouts &amp; More!</p>
    <ul id="topnavi">
      <li><a href="http://www.free-css.com/" title="Free CSS">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="/contact-us.php" title="Contact Free CSS">Contact Us</a></li>
      <li><a href="/advertise.php" title="Advertise With Free CSS">Advertise</a></li>

      <li><a href="/recommend-us.php" rel="popup console 500 520 noicon" title="Recommend Free CSS">Recommend Us</a></li>
      <li><a href="/submit.php" title="Submit to Free CSS">Submit</a></li>
      <li class="last"><a href="/search.php" title="Search Free CSS">Search</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
  <div id="superbanner">
    <script src="/assets/templates/free-templates/scripts/buysellads_sb.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

  </div>
  <div id="breadcrumb">
    <ul>
<li class="first">You Are Here</li>
<li>&#187;</li>
<li><a href="/" title="Free CSS">Free CSS</a></li>
<li>&#187;</li>
<li><a href="/free-css-templates.php" title="Free CSS Templates">Free CSS Templates</a></li>
<li>&#187;</li>
<li><a href="/free-css-templates/page2.php" title="CSS Website Templates Page 2">CSS Templates Page 2</a></li>

<li>&#187;</li>
<li class="current"><a href="/free-css-templates/page2/minisite-pro.php" title="Minisite Pro Template">Minisite Pro</a></li>
</ul>
  </div>
<div id="content">
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Having <div id="content"> directly under the BODY tag messes up everything.

For me, it seems easier to have a completely naked body, by default, and let
the user decide, follow or copy a guideline to implement the nice CSS he wants
to.

Currently, I had to modify the source code to get the same effect as the one I
want.
