I'm available to customise your themes or plugins for your Geeklog CMS

I've used this for css/js inclusion - very easy

I'd like to see javascript moved to COM_siteFooter instead of COM_siteHeader

Add in a feature request with your ideas and stating the reasons behind the changes if it is not obvious.

Or better yet after discussing on the mailing list you could code a patch for your feature request

Cordiste, I will be updating the Professional theme fairly soon and I will add in image dimensions where required.

I have used this template and techniques for every new site for the past 6 months.(A lot to learn from)

The css reset alone is amazing, making things we normally struggle to get looking nice across all browsers a snap.
Especially form elements that would normally look super ugly in IE look fantastic.
Example of some forms recently finished.

The sprites are a very good idea to reduce http requests. Sprites for the login and flag icons.
