Not as far as I know. I've got some thoughts about that, but nowhere near
enough time to organise them coherently yet. I also need to get back to the
LinuxDoc -> DocBook conversion before going off on yet another tangent.

Absolutely no idea. Possilby a hysterical raisin, although John Fieber
could say for sure.

Reasoned discussion on the mailing list :-)
To the best of my knowledge, nothing like that's actually happened. You
can rest assured that should I ever see
Updated all the pages to be in one big table so we can force the
width to be 540 pixels.
float by in a commit message, I'll be one of the first people politely
asking for it be reversed.
That said, there's no reason why a few different sets of pages couldn't
be produced. By changing the contents of includes.sgml it would be quite
easy to redefine the 'header' and 'footer' entities to wrap pages in
tables. The HTML generated from this could go in one place, the existing
HTML in another, and let visitors to the site take their pick.
