   If you put the footer onto a plate, there will be a number of negative consequences:

   • the plate will draw unnecessary attention to the footer;
   • since page links aren't on a plate, they will become a bit obscure;
   • the end of the page won't be much different from the contents of the page, which is… bad style, I guess. I don't have anything to back this one up, though (other than my taste).

   I vote either not to change anything, or to put both page links and footer onto plates (two separate ones). This, at least, will give the page consistency in style.

   I guess you haven't seen how footer looks on new quote page. Just look at this! http://loglist.net/quote/new

   But yeah, we really should think about placing the page links to a plate or highlighting them in some another way.

   Oh. Yep, that's positively ugly. But in this case, I'd also put the form onto a plate.

   Also it doesn't look too bad even if we highlight only the footer. Check the visual of this:

   (Sorry, I am not able to insert the image due to some network problems at the moment.)

   In my opinion, it does look bad. The footer draws attention, page links are now disregarded just like +/- buttons are. The eyes will just skip anything that isn't on a plate. Don't do that.
