[WSG] restricting width in the body tag

[William Donovan]

Hi all,

I wanted to ask a question of better practice and current standards view.

Is it better to have a header and footer stretch across the width of the 
browser window or be restricted to the width of the defined. left aligned 
content area. Leaving lots of vacant white space for people with wider screen 
resolution.

(the question arises as people are becoming concerned about laptop users with 
1600 pixel wide computer screens)


and if it is to be restricted in width, should the styling restriction be 
applied to the body tag?

Thank
William
