+
+>> * div banner (to show up a logo for example)
+
+>> * div content-wrap containing div header, div actions, ... div content
+>> and div footer
+
+>> * div realfooter (to put credits, "Powered by ikiwiki", "Valid XHTML"...)
+
+>> From my tests, it works: Just adding the divs, without touching the stylesheet,
