I didn't know that html would also be a container somehow. I always thought 
that it was something behind the all thing. :) Guess not. Let's use html for 
that then and liberate the body. :)

Almost there, so it could be a nice idea to use px and em for those cases (and 
they could be a lot) where, 960px don't correspond to 60em. 
Because, by doing both containers one in px and another in em, we guarantee (I 
still miss how) that even if the default user font is other then 16px the max 
width will apply ?

You have told earlier that:

"If those containers have 'width: 100%' declared they can be styled to interact 
in perfect harmony with min/max-width declared with different units."

Can you please elaborate a little bit more ?
What role will play width: 100% related with two different units, and two 
different containers.

(you can contract the code declarations to the left for a better view);


ps - I've just found this cssdesk.com and I'm happy. :)
