Maybe I just don't get it, but as a creator of the skin, I'm not about to
dictate what semantic uses to put the sidebars to. The user will be free to
put whatever content they want there. The same goes for the headers and footers.

As far as I can see, I should be using layout names, and leave any semantic
naming to the users.
