This is a good chance to plug my project on making CMS-ready CSS
designs available to the world: http://csstoolshed.com

In any case, if you cannot control how wide the main content will be
then you either

a) have a very bad CMS that allows the editors too much freedom in
designing the page rather than editing content or
b) Have editors that haven't been trained properly on the product

There is no such thing as enforcing a design on a layout, badly
trained staff will always be able to mess it up beyond repair.

My http://www.visitbritain.com/ used to be 400 lines of quite
bullet-proof CSS, now three years later it is an unmaintainable mess
with bad layout problems on a lot of pages. Who gets blamed ? CSS as a
technology :-)
