What I came up with is to kick the Maximize altogether. The reason for this is 
two-fold.

One - there's no precident for maximize out there "in-the-wild". i.e.  There's 
no web sites to my recollection that I've visited over the past five years that 
have maximize button. SO - this could be considered a "web-app" feature only in 
which case you don't necessarily want or need a non-table layout.

Two - There's no way to do Maximize without resorting to Javascript.  SO - 
Given that you've played around with this, I'm willing to take another look. 
Maximize could be very useful in-the-wild - one use case comes to mind - you 
have a portlet that serves up photo thumbnails, you max the portlet and then 
you get the full size photo.

The tricky part for the Javascript idea is that it should degrade gracefully 
when Javascript is not enabled - in which case this will take a bit of work.

(In general, the only reason for going through all this hassle is to produce 
web pages that adhere to best practices and a sort of an intellectualized 
concept of web design - there's alot of good reasons for not bothering. In my 
case, I don't have paying customers waiting for me so I can afford to take the 
time to do it well(?).
