Summary: Skin string replacement happens in 2 places, not 1

Initial Comment:
Skin string replacement happens in 2 places, not 1, and having just 1 place 
would be easier to manage.

/public_html/ccskins/shared/strings/*.php are the default strings. 

/public_html/customsitename_files/skins/customsitename-skin/strings/customsitename.php
and 
/public_html/customsitename_files/skins/customsitename-skin/strings.php

are where to declare replacements. 

Some of ccHost respects one and some respects the other, so OFLB has 
duplicated the contents to be sure. Ideally there would only be one.

Message:
I'm moving this 'feature request' because this was done, in fact, "by
design" - there are some strings (like "Skip to content") that are strictly
for a specific skin and have no business in the globally shared 'string
profile' - it's possible the better way to handle this would be to create
template-tags (like those in 'admin/templatetags') which only the skin
would understand. 

Either way, we need a way for a skin to introduce it's own strings,
particular to the way it presents things and not force every skin maker to
put strings into the whatever the currently selected global string profile
is.
