I know most of us prefer full control over our login dialog's but...

If a CMS forced or atleast suggested you use browser supplied login screens for web page content you select as protected, etc...

Inorder to make templating easier on the client side of things...would this be a big issue for you?

My main problem with that method is that it requires HTTP style authentication, which essentially involves you sending the password and username as plaintext on every single request.
