Agreed, and you don't need consensus.  You only need my approval as UI 
component owner (or Dave's when you disagree with my decisions).

I don't have a lot of time either, but I have enough to give you this 
nod for your overall endeavor and timely approval of the sequence of 
simple, small, iterative changes that gets us to the end-point, just as 
I've done (along with reviews) for the pair of CSS gurus who have been 
modifying our HTML one template at a time for CSS friendliness.

Sounds good, except "have a fixed period of time to discuss it" should 
be "get input from others and come to agreement with Myk (or Dave)"; and 
note that some changes may require Perl code hacking in addition to 
template work.
