Dissenting only a little from other replies, I would suggest using percentages that add up to just shy of 100%. 99% may do, but test thoroughly. Reason for using percents for fixed width layout? Should you decide to change the width, or make it ems or whatever, you won't need to recalculate the individual widths. Avoid putting margins or padding on these columns. If you need either, put them on the elements or an extra DIV inside the structural containers. To answer you directly - No, I see nothing wrong at all.
