The Xaraya Webpage style is based on the constraints of doing brochures in
2, 3 or 4 color printing - where you put a whole lot in a single shade
because you can't afford a full-color approach. Nothing like immitating a
prior technology while pretending to be on the forefront of the next. Maybe
they'll progress from this to a page entirely in distressed typewriter font.

After looking at many of the wiki implementations out there, part of
PhpWiki's appeal was the clean appearance. I had to consciously discount for
its looking better to focus on appraising the functional features. It's
_hard_ in design to do simple well. Layering on design motifs for no purpose
just clutters the world with noise.
