I found that the monobook skin relies too much on absolute positioning 
to make even minor mods easy.  I completely re-jigged monobook.php to 
use relative positioning by just rearranging the order of the various 
<div>s on the page.  That way, changing one <div> automatically bumps 
the adjacent <div>s.

My motivation in this was the fact that the skin has problems with font 
size changes initiated by the user thru <ctrl><+> after making a few 
minor changes to the skin.
