Its an interesting project to clean the PM output. Code is scattered in a lot of places and without a rigorous project to eliminate it you'll have to put up with the current approach: As and when pmdev touches a node for some reason we usually do an HTML cleanup at the same time.

As for converting everything over to use CSS, I think thats a policy change that hasn't occured yet. OTOH, im sure there are ways to make the page much easier to manage via CSS without compromising the "old look". pmdev lacks a guidline document on that, and as such we just do what seems most sensible. We also dont have a list of used class names, or the like. Theres a couple of projects that could be interesting for someone. Anyone interested in the CSS guidelines should speak with petruchio though.
