I do believe you missunderstand.
The point is basically to get:
-the position of the bottom edge of the bottomost layer
-the position of the top edge of the topmost layer
-the position of the left edge of the leftmost layer
-the position of the right edge of the rightmost layer
and from those values calculate the total area used by all the
children of a layer.
Result:
getContentHeight/Width will works with pure DynAPI content as well as with
HTML content.
