    I think you're missing the point. jQueryUI is creating the markup and assigning CSS classes which the browser can interpret and render faster than it's Javascript engine can process and apply the rules; which would THEN use the rendering engine to interpret and render the elements. What's wrong with taking out the middle man?

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnddddd...
    What's the point of downloading a giant collection of jQuery plugins when the page loads if the developer is only going to be using a few of them?

    A community project to make a 'roll your own' library builder would be better. That way you'd only get what you need, and it'd be ready to use straight away.

    Nice thought though.
