Well, that site's code kinda sucks... I mean 350 errors on validation
- that's nasty.

But back to the calendar:

Well, it's not that simple, since that site's calendar is a (messy)
one-row table, and pLog's calendar has around 5 rows, 7 cells each.

What I'd like to achieve is a calendar with the name of the month and
all days given in one, vertical column. Doing it with the current HTML
for the table would require quite a bit of CSS hacking and I doubt the
end effect would be satisfactory.

It would be far easier, if for example the $calendar template variable
would be an object, displaying different layouts according to the
designers will, ie.:

{$calendar->standard()} - shows what is being shown now
{$calendar->row()} - all in one row
{$calendar->column()} - all in one column

What's your opinion on implementing such a feature?
