The video and music portions of mythweb are crap (no offense intended to 
their authors -- I think the same of much of my own code).  I should not 
have accepted them in their current conditions.  I've received offers to 
rewrite them, but no one has actually done it yet (I personally don't 
use them, and haven't had time to do it myself).

As such, no, copying that style will not be accepted.  Though I have 
more issues with the lack of escaped SQL queries than anything else. 
And if I reject a patch, I'll tell you *why* I reject it, and you will 
of course be welcome and encouraged to fix any problems and resubmit.
