Yes, these proposals are fine in my opinion as well. The implementation  
of
the secondary pages might be tricky. If I remember correctly, many pages
currently only have a header that you can include, but no footer. You  
may need
to compromise the layout in this regard initially and then transition to
the ideal version later, after the markup of all the pages has been  
updated.

You should be able to use the code in Devon's perforce workspace for  
this.

I think you can pretty much get from there to your proposal with CSS
adjustments.
