I didn't mind the execution so much, as I did something similar a couple years ago, but it was rushed and for an assignment anyway so it was actually not as cool as this. (For the craptacular "Web 0.5" webpage I used this as a repeated background: http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu319/itsyoshitime/fireWo... ) One thing it doesn't have though is the evolution to web applications.
So do I. It would be cool with a more complete "catalogue" of common styles, to have to compare between. I know there is an infinite number of classifications, but there's a lot of commonly seen themes, that could be turned into a taxonomy of sorts.
Sort of a "design patterns" catalogue of web design. Maybe it exists already?
The Web2.0 style looks more like a frontpage scheme. It's not even a good attempt to look web2.0-y. Most of the stylesheets are just poor executions of various styles that are even still in use in many places...
I don't know if this was supposed to be a sarcastic or academic look at web design but I think it falls short on both accounts.
