How is that dealt with? 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.
