Enter your suggestion here with any reasons why you want this feature and
what it will be used for.  Remember that the more people that star this
issue, the more likely we are to implement it.

Please accept my apologies in advance if any of the following is
incorrect, or has already been covered elsewhere.

I have used the Google AJAX APIs a few times now - mostly for jQuery -
and I'm a big fan. I've noticed that YUI makes the list, however my
favorite grid system - 960.gs - is missing.

Now I don't need anyone to point out that it's not an AJAX library,
but I do think this could be extremely useful to a lot of people; not
to mention a massive bandwidth saver for webmasters and users alike.
To my understanding ISPs cache frequently requested documents, so
everyone requesting a common CSS file would reduce some network
overhead/hops needed/stress on the server hosting the file. Not to mention that 
the file would be cached locally on the browser, meaning fewer overall requests 
at the user level. Everybody
wins, and Google gains more of my appreciation and respect.

I suggest you to check out YUI CSS Grids 
(http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/cssgrids/). To my mind, it is much more 
versatile than 960gs. It's available on Yahoo's CDN.

Thank you Paavo-ei. However, 960.gs is still very much my library of choice 
having used YUI, and I'm not looking to change this.
