Could you put up or email me a .jpg of what kind of "broken" we're talking
about? (Putting it up would be better at least for today -- damn
virus-writers.)

I started doing this, but stopped when I discovered that interaction between
layout and presentation can make the sidecols fall down -- for instance, put
a border all the way around #cols-wrapper, and *boom!* Tonico put some
padding and margins specs in layout and some in presentation, and it wasn't
clear to me why some were in one place and some in the other.
I'm now thinking that I maybe should experiment and make a presentation.css
that's "only those presentation elements that don't affect layout," while
the other presentation elements (borders, margins, padding on certain
selectors) get put into layout. Elements clearly should get their own
stylesheet.
Thanks so much for your input!
