An S2 style for embedding
I had a brainwave about how this could be done the other night, and am currently working on an S2 style to be used for embedding. It consists of a layout layer, which will contain all the code and a theme layer where you will be able to set properties such as what order you want all the data in, how you want it separated (line breaks, spaces, whatever) with lots of comments to explain how each property works. My plan is to make it extremely customizeable but to be providing almost no formatting, but lots of CSS classes instead. So, my questions are
a) Is there a need for this? I'd like to be doing it with a view to writing up installation instructions for S2howto say, or an FAQ, and getting the layers adopted by an official journal somehow (I'm not quite sure how that would work as Advanced cust doesn't seem to have authas yet).
b) Is someone else already working on this? Obviously, it's not worth duplicating effort really. Is there a zilla task for something like this? I couldn't find one but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not there.
There's a skeleton of how it will work up now - http://www.livejournal.com/customize/advanced/layerbrowse.bml?id=854681 is the layout layer (I haven't bothered to write a separate theme layer yet). http://www.livejournal.com/users/tinyjo/?s2id=1650583 is how it displays.
