Yep. Relatedly, all beta experiments are currently "timeless." No version number, no "last updated" date, etc. We may want to reconsider this, as we're already seeing confusion between iterations (i.e., typography refresh refresh or typography update update).

There's no deadline. :-) FlowType.JS looks really neat, but I agree that putting any of the layout experiments in the typography update is jarring. >Imagine a likely scenario, such as article talk where flow and an >article might benefit from being side by side in a 2 column layout. This is an area where I think real-world statistics would be helpful. Optimizing for the large monitor crowd is easy because designers often have (several) large monitors. But I think we need to know what readers/users actually have out in the wild to figure out how to best prioritize resources.
