	Yesterday, late night I made long think about the issue and here are
my rough notes:

1. Basic CSS configuration will be using $opts['css'] array/hash.

2. We have at least following suboptions:
	['prefix'] - default value is "pme_"
	['dividor'] - well this should have better name, but it says how 
	              many list table rows should have own number before 
	              starting counting from 0; value of -1 means every row
	              has its own number
	['buttons_pos'] - if the buttons should get their class name 
	                  according to possition on page name
	                  (ie. pme_button_down)
	['buttons_type'] - if the buttons should get their class name 
	                   according to type (ie. pme_button_search)
	['buttons_func'] - similary functionality (pme_button_next)

	If more from buttons_* option is turned on, the result class name
will be joined in one string. Example: pme_button_down_change.

3. Similar booleans (they should not be letter flags?) must have other 
   elements, such as <hr>, so ['hr_pos'] = true -> pme_hr_up, pme_hr_down

4. There are two types of screen: table listing and one record display.

5. There are three types of buttons:
	- table list action buttons:
		next, prev, add, view, delete, copy, change
	- record display action buttons:
		save, more, cancel, delete, [apply]
	- search buttons:
		search, hide, cancel, query

6. Every column can have new option ['css'] ($opts['fdd']['col']['css']).

7. Column ['css'] has:
	['postfix'] - what to add to all classes that are connected with 
	              this column (so its TH class will get this postfix, 
	              also its filter input field, also its TDs); this will 
	              allow us to have for example one col hightlighted with 
	              different color what other cols; rather cool, isn't it?

	This covers only part of whole problematic. Please feel free to
write your notes to described issue and/or some new ideas. They are welcome
and appreciated!
