I completely understand your pain -- HTML layout is an absolute nightmare. I'm about to start the review thread for the core "Layout" class and supporting code (and post an initial design doc at the same time). It is a low-level class that works directly with elements, and is meant primarily to be used by higher-level widgets. It, along with the design doc, should give you an idea of how it all works, and if you like you can start using it directly. I plan on following up with individual widget reviews soon thereafter, and the Dock/Split widget will be among the first.
