[Solar-talk] New div IDs for layouts?

[Paul M Jones]

Hi all,

In the current layouts, I'm using "location" IDs: top, bottom, left,  
right, etc.  I've got enough done now that I think I can start  
switching to semantic IDs.  Want to get input before I do so.

Proposed IDs are:

	site-*    : (Same for all pages on the site)
	site-head : Header
	site-foot : Footer
	site-menu : Site-wide navigation elements
	site-info : Other site-wide information
	
	page-*    : (Used only for the current page)
	page-head : Header
	page-foot : Footer
	page-menu : Page-specific navigation elements
	page-info : Other page information
	
	user-*    : (Related more to the user than the page)
	user-auth : User authentication block
	user-menu : Navigation or actions for the user
	user-info : Other user information

I still plan on using the 'content' ID to show where the page content  
itself goes.

This means that the Solar_App $layout_* property names will change to  
match the new semantic IDs; e.g., from $layout_right to  
$layout_page_head, $layout_page_menu, etc.

Any comments/criticism here?  Do you think those are enough to cover  
most or all broad semantic sections on a page?
