An aside to this - if you want to adapt the responsive header to a different width, by all means do so. If you're using Github, you can fork URel's repo of it and we'll pull it in as another branch that people can use. I also know that Ben Demaree was working on a full-width version of the Header, so that might already mostly be done.

As for other grids, if you're interested in using SASS, I've toyed a bit with Susy (http://susy.oddbird.net/). The number and width of columns are user-defined, and what I really like about it is that you can change column spans for things at different breakpoints (a div spans 4 columns at X device width, and spans 6 columns at Y width), and you don't clutter up the html will all kinds of "column-x" classes.

Given that the current responsive headers & footers are max 960px wide, I can't use the 1140 CSS Grid (cssgrid.net (http://cssgrid.net)), nor any of the fluid-at-full-size systems that might otherwise be my inclination.

Are there others that meet these requirements (960 max width, 16-column, responsive) that I should be looking at? Are there any big downsides to using a framework at all (other than cluttering HTML with non-semantic classes)?
