I'm as much into CSS as the next guy, but there are things you just can't do with CSS alone - and using JavaScript for element placement is objectionable.
For example, #p-personal appears earlier in #column-one than say #p-navigation (and any other sidebars). If you wanted to keep #p-personal as a standard portlet, but listed _last_ in the column, the only way to do this (afaik) is to reorder the HTML elements (either before page load - as in the current system - or via JavaScript).

It certainly would (tremendously improves forwards-compatibility). But it also means that bad designers can't muck up MediaWiki with table-based layouts. ;-) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
