Hi Brian,
I understand you will use the fixed with version. [1] In that case all 
the div's for a flexible width can be missed! ;-)
All you need is to make it flexible in height only, which is much more 
simple, and is possible without the whole liquidcorners.css.
The border line between the left column and the content column you can 
make in 1 img together with the left side border and the right side 
border. And you can put a different background color for both columns as 
well in that image: making faux columns.

New, simplified example, with all borders as painted borders which you 
can adapt in any color/form you want:

The 3 images are together less than 4.5 kB; again font scaling proof and 
IE proof (Win98 anyway).

Greetings,
francky

PS: the IE-styles are not yet in conditional comment: as Robert said, 
it's a good idea to do that when the lay out is finished.

Perhaps you should consider to make a flexible width ... (I think the 
code can be simplified as well).
