Finally converted (almost?) everything to be using  instead of  and . Some code cleanup. Adapting the code to our initial concept (alpha needs to say clean and lightweight) and therefore moved some of the preprocess / process code to Omega.

Improved the section wrappers in the theme settings UI and added some wrapper functions in the omega.inc

Fixed a bug in the hook registry (was completly broken) and removed the fake blocks (those will be part of omega ui)

Added support for disabling / excluding core, contrib module and theme stylesheets[] definitions via the Omega / Alpha theme settings

Added support for all Alpha 'fake blocks' / Added page title in region--content.tpl.php in Omega / Moved all tpl.php files in Alpha and Omega from  and  to  (drupal_attributes) / Added a few more &drupal_static's to the functions in alpha.inc / Improved alpha_include_grid() / Some preprocess & process tweaks

adding default text.css to Omega, setting up Alpha with a first pass at rendering the faked branding block; needs review & refining

adding default css resets for core; updating theme settings ui to wrap zones & regions inside their section container

Adding conditional stylesheet for IE < 9 to reapply the default 960gs CSS since media queries fail and was presenting mobile version
