This is not the reference you are talking about, I suspect, but it may 
prove useful in addition; Doug Bowman talks about his techniques for 
making liquid layouts that maintain proportion, and I think it's in the 
right sort of ballpark for your situation:

The actual design he's referring to is overly minimalist, in my opinion, 
but the design principles seem sound.

Hope this helps
