Hm.  So if my portlet generates a single HTML element (a div, say),
can I then assume that the parent of that element is the right one to
ask about the width that I should choose?

Hm.  What happens if my content is very wide, say?  Does the portal
add scrollbars or clip (in the sense of CSS's overflow:hidden) the
content, or does the misbehaving portlet destroy the whole portal
layout?

Are there any standards on this?

(I'm on page 55 of the portlet standard, maybe I will come to it later
;-)
