Nay, fortunately, I don't have wild dreams of reworking all existing or future 3.5 supplement for this design %) Although I think that we'll see something like this in 2012 or so in 5th edition, especially if "D&D Insider" will be profitable for Wizards.

Of course, main reason why I've done this thing is because this challenge interested me. Currently I gathered some opinions and working on improved design for this lizard and the Bloodseeker from "Necromantic Lore". In my imaginary monsterbook with this layout, flavor text is placed under the essential picture, in scroll- or encyclopedia-styled format.
Yeah, I don't get unicorns with "hail from Feywyld, guard forests and lakes" pokemon-like descriptions, too.

The improvements that was suggested to me were:
1. Try to keep same section order as in standard descriptions.
2. Try to place sections in the same place in every description (draw the monster that way so it can be done).
3. Infoblocks should have distinct frame and semi-solid background.

If I'd make 12 monsters like this it would pass for a free supplement, I think.
