date – Simplish

What began as a couple patches for a minor 2.0.1 bump grew into more extensive 2.1 improvements:

Trackback URI and Comments: combine display into a single element.
Don’t display Category in post meta box for Uncategorized posts.
Fix empty li element by displaying nothing on posts without tags. (Thanks Tim Hamilton.)
Display dates on posts and comments now honor date format settings in wp-admin -> Settings -> General. (Thanks demetris from op111.net.)
Remove header_shadow.gif. Alignment changes by a few pixels; the blog title underline is now a CSS border, not an image.
Fix bug in sp_vallery() gallery shortcode override to handle links and HTML in gallery image captions.
Fix bug in sp_vallery() that created extra empty gallery div. (See this issue in upstream Sandbox code.)
Standardize and simplify use of text symbols:
- [ ] (logged-in user UI elements)
- | (element separation)
- - (title element separation)
- « » (chronological traversal)
Adopt rel=home in header and footer links to blog’s home page.
Replace all remaining comments_popup_link() calls with comments_link()/comments_number().
Don’t show post counts in default sidebar’s Archives and Categories lists.
A little more prep for gettext internationalization.
CSS cleanups and simplifications for some double-definitions. (Thanks threesomehour.com.)
PHP code cleanups.
(Continued) Re-verification of posts and page templates for hAtom/hCard and XHMTL/CSS validity.
