*Major thread bump*

I've just started using Blueprint on a project, and it's allowed us to
get a long way towards a decent layout and typography for free, which
is great.

So, despite my earlier objections, I quite like it. Especially as
Christian Montoya has made a tool called Semantify which removes many
of the "but it's presentational code!" objections:

Happy days :)
