One moment the *titles* are ul li h2. The next they are just ul li. But even then its not consistent. One *set* of widgets can and commonly does - contain both. This is causing havoc in the theming community. Not to mention that at com in at least some widgets they have ditched the frakin ul li ul malarkey completely - which is what I have been praying they would do FOR YEARS. Lists are dead. Long live display:block. But there is no coherent policy or plan. The code is gyrating like a crack addict at a barn dance. :) I like my TXP install Apropos widgets: What is currently happening is that as WP iterates through its three times a month *upgrade* they keep changing the freakin markup in the flamin widgets.

I'd recommend giving it a second look. I'm still amazed by the speed. Just as a warning though, the templating system is a little weird.

I stuck with WP for my personal blog because I needed the LivePress plugin to x-post to lj. But a) that breaks in 1.5.3 and b) I've installed Performancing anyway, so it may be time to give Txp another look...

I might look at the 1.5.3 install, after hearing Podz talk good of it, but we'll see...

You'll understand that sometimes I'm thin-skinned. :) Anyway, there's always more than one way to skin a cat. Having *both* options would be nice for any of us who blog. Sorry, on re-read it’s clear.

The plan seems to be that widgets will be core in the next major release (along with other .com-originated bloat like WYSIWYG spellcheck)
