In such a case one will indeed end up with a largely empty column on an
otherwise largely empty screen/window. Some want that, while others
don't. I don't see a problem here, as a largely empty page will end up
looking largely empty anyway, and that is often the case at an early
design-stage.

Most web pages end up with enough content to push the boundaries, so I'm
in line with Zoe on this point - it will probably become a non-issue
that one shouldn't worry about at any stage.

FWIW: I rarely see, or have, any need for such stretching-methods.
Having working stretching-methods available in case someone asks for
such a solution, is an entirely different matter. That goes for a lot of
layout methods that I normally don't use myself, as it is always good to
have options, IMO.
