No offense but techies tend to make the worst kinds of design, and design by council always sucks, look at the new US Currency.
For Govt. sites I think things should be simple clean and straight forward. I like the IRS site for being entertaining but finding info can be a bitch and it is often poorly kept
I think taking a cue from commercial sites is a good idea. You want to make a user want to be there even if the info presented is dull.
