I love bones and have been super happy with it for a starting place for themes, but I have one gripe -- your normalize.css

I use normalize.css for other HTML5 projects and the other day I wanted to replace the normalize.css file with the bootstrap.css file to see how it fared, the problem was I noticed you have edited normalize with non-normalizing styles. In fact some of them are purely presentational (the nav styles) and others are very sensible, yet completely inappropriate for the normalize css file, global classes.

I think you have something really wonderful with bones, but you have put too much into the normalize.css which should really have gone into your main CSS stylesheet. This will not only make bones far more flexible as users can switch out resets in future, but also allows for updates to the normalize.css in future if @necolas updates it.

Please at least consider quarantining you additional code so it it'sn't intertwined with the normalize stylesheet. If you would like someone to pull out the additional code and add them to the main stylesheet, please let me know I have already moved 85% of the styles.

Thanks agan for Bones!
