Exactly this. I have worked with PSD only designers in the past who didn't do "HTML programming" and would send blobs of binary files.

I realised that I was wasting about 50% of my time figuring out CSS, fighting with the box model and browser quirks. The end result was me just producing crap CSS that I don't think even implemented what the designer had designed properly.

Getting a full CSS/HTML template & all elements actually means I can get on with the shit that I'm supposed to be getting on with.
