Some TODO's:
* The sidebars of theme Marvin and theme UnConeD look unstyled.
* CSS-ify theme UnConeD so we can remove the class around the functions.
* Rewrite theme_init() not to use a class and simplify theme()
accordingly.
- Improvement: removed a left-over from Drupal 4.2.0 (dead code).
- Improvement: replaced hard-coded XHTML around the XML icons with class="xml-icon".
- Improvement: removed the custom navigation menus shown at the top of the "user information page" and integrated them in the new navigation block. The "my account" link in the navigation menu will unfold. Also removed the "delete account" link/functionality (for now).
- Improvement: fix for "magic quotes" settings. Patch by Steven. I also removed check_php_settings().
- Improvement: block themability improvements. Modified patch from Ax and Steve/CodeMonkeyX.
- Fixed bug #2617: editing user information does not work. Patch by Kjartan.

PostgreSQL and MSSQL database scheme as well.
- Made sure the update script updates the correct tables when database
prefixing is enabled. Patch by Bart Jansens.
- Improved the breadcrumb navigation of the book and the forum module as per
Keith Instone's suggestions.
- Updated page titles (or block titles) and links to match. Suggested by
Keith Instone.
- Added missing 'thread' field to the comment table of the MySQL database scheme.
Fixes bug #2590.
2) Beautified the forum module views; rewritten to use the table() rendering functions, X HTML-ified the emitted code, added additional CSS tags, and removed hard-coded markup. This improves themeabality; it should be able to mimic the view and color scheme of, say, http://www.phpbb.com/.
3) Reorganized forms and links (interactive elements) to improve usability. Also ensured that the link names and page titles match.
4) Temporary removed container functionality: this simplified the work and eliminated some usability issues.

- Improvement: usability improvements to the Xtemplate theme. Patch #3 by Kristjan.
- Improvement: CSS'ified the book module pages. Patch #3 by Al. (I simplified the "l
ocation" part. Al's approach gave you a bit more power but I'm not sure anyone wants
to change that. Besides, this will change as soon we integrate the menu system so I kept it easy for now.)
- added a subtle lineheight to nodes and #message
- removed specific link colors for taxonomy terms and node links. Found it confusing, specially in context with a:visited color.
- added a gray background, border and padding for <pre> tag, to make Drupal documentation pages more nicer.
- nested search form into <div>s in order to validate as XHTML Strict. Modified patch by Alastair.
- incorporated all of Alastair's patches to replace px-based padidngs with em-ones
- fixed the footer font size and Y-centered it
- removed class from seach <form>, put it in the surrounding <div> instead
- added class for submit
- simplified the search box's CSS, it is looking much more cleaner now
==> This fix requires to run update.php!

TODO:
- Some modules such as the buddy list module and the annotation module in the contributions repository are also using session_register(). They should be updated. We should setup a task on Drupal.
- There is code emitting '<div align="right">' which doesn't validate.
- Does our XML feeds validate with the charset changes?
- The forum module's SQL doesn't work properly on PostgreSQL.
to avoid XSS attacks! Patch by Al, Moshe, Marco, Kjartan and me.
- Bugfix: the admin module does now import drupal.css prior to admin.css.
Patch by me.
- Bugfix: the admin module was still emitting a <base href=""> tag. I
removed this as it is been taken care of by theme_head(); Patch by me.
- Bugfix: made the tracker module's pager only consider published pages.
Patch by Moshe.
- Bugfix: cured some typos in the comment module's help function. Patch by
Marco.

attributes to be discarded.

Reported by Kjartan.

look nicer. Patch by Moshe and Al.
- CSS improvements: added CSS classes for form elements. Patch by Al.
- CSS improvements: added a vertical gap between the last form item and the
submit button. Patch by Al. Note that Opera 6 is not picking up this
CSS but apparently others browsers such as Konqueror do.
- Xtemplate improvements: changed the color of the selected day in the
archive module's calendar. Patch by Al.
- Usability improvements: made the "birthday" field of the profile module
look nicer. Patch by Al.
------
- TODO: it might be a good idea to emit the following meta tag in the
theme_head() function:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
Currently, some themes (and modules!) emit this while others don't. This
would also make it possible to change the charset site-wide.
- TODO: now we added support for td.dark and td.light to drupal.css, maybe
it can be removed from admin.css as well as xtemplate.css?
- <div> is not allowed within <span>.
- Reworked the header: the alignment/wrapping of the primary and secondary links actually works now and is a tad simpler.
