I've created a full finished page, and put it out on my webserver. All
of the CSS is in this one file (instead of linking against the standard
CSS file, which I can't edit.)
Here are some notes, but I got tired of writing them down after a while:
1) a.stub has identical elements in both the HTML and the external CSS
file. [removed one]
2) #quickbar a.new is broken (CC2200 should be #CC2200) [fixed]
3) JabbaSkript is removed.
4) CSS is in alphabetical order (tons easier to read and much clearer).
5) Removed the pull-down and Go button from topbar.
6) Removed bgcolor from <body>
7) Removed Main Page, Recent changes, Edit this page, and Older versions
from the topbar.
8) Removed the <p> under "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia."
9) Removed Wikipedia logo.
10) Abolished 'article' CSS section (the article is the content, isn't
it?)
11) Moved 'footer' out of 'content' section.

Anyways, here is where you can take a look:
Original:

Revamped:

It uses CSS2 heavily, and so it probably won't render in any
non-compliant browser (which is fine for 'alternative' skins, I hear).
Nice, but your fixed div at the top is too short for my default font size,
so the text is truncated. You probably need to set the div height in ems.
And I prefer lower contrast than black on white.
