blueprint

This is at the framework level, not dealing directly with CSS, so posting to SO.

I just learned about the existence of CSS frameworks. 960 Grid System seems pretty awesome, then I found Blueprint, which seems to do the same thing and more.

Is there a better word than "framework" to categorize this?

Are there any other products in this category?
In response to one of the comments http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1483565/link-to-a-site-designed-using-a-css-framework-blueprint-960-etc, "how many example frameworks do you want? he just listed two of them.", I'd love to have more than two examples, unless those are the only two in the running.

Blueprint, which is "the original CSS framework"
960 Grid System, which is a tool to have a grid underlying your screen.
YUI 2: Grids, similar to 960? The rest of YUI is more similar to JQuery?

I want to use 960 or Blueprint, but I also want to use lots of Padding and Borders, is it a good fit

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I started using 960 today and thought it would be really easy. However, trying to translate a site to 960 quickly proved tough for many reasons. The first is that I can't use any padding or borders. Unless of course I add many more divs. Same thing with borders. Question is, if I want to use… >>> More
