Yeah, I think this needs to go into NKS. I'll put out some updates in PDF which you can glue into your copies. Also, should go on the StacksAndFlows wiki page. > What does shoes do to the width when you specify > the width to be smaller than the elements inside it (like in ticket > #80)?

So, in the case of ticket #80, you end up with an element which is positioned as if it were 175+ pixels wide, but elements around it treat it as if it were 125 pixels wide. I want to avoid error messages, I think. I like how HTML gracefully handles mistakes. A warning of some kind? I don't know, these are great questions. _why
