The HTML that confluence produces needs to be tidied up, made more css accessible and be generally xhtml 1.0 compliant.

as an example... putting an image on a page with a caption (and floating it right) results in the following html being generated...

<div class='navmenu' style='float:right; background:white; margin:3px; padding:3px'><img src="/download/attachments/131088/fred.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0" width="200" />
<br clear="all" /><span class="smalltext">caption goes here</span></div>

so the class name to control this through css is "navmenu"? that isnt intuitive. Much of the rest of the display/style information is all hardcoded, and therefore css cannot overwrite it. it would be better to leave all this stuff open, and then have a default css entry provide default display.

obviously if i had specified background colour and margin then they should be included, but if i havent, then dont include it. there should be id and alt text tags on that image.
