And at the same time CMS:es can end up being to structureish and in most 
cases you end up working with the structure by hand anyway.
I haven't done too much Mediawiki, Moinmoin or Drupal styling, but I 
found them about equally hard to work with.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm going to give it a shot in just HTML for now.
You can keep discussing system X vs. system Y if you want to, but I 
wouldn't worry about that too much until we have something concrete to 
work with.
