but still within the realm of possibility, which i was alluding to.

using container divs with percentages and other methods for the child selectors could overcome a lot of that.

They could then be styled appropriately with no effect on the regular styles/themes. Even display:none'd / revealed on focus/hover, whatever. But it takes me back to what i've been suggesting. namely just add some divs, which have 0 impact on the core product at all, but enable css geeks to have at it in the Extra css world.

showflat and postlist are primary candidates there. cfrm, header, footer, sidebars also. that's a big swath and at least closer to the ever elusive 'pda.css'
