Some thoughts;

In a related need I created a sidebar width tool - attached. If you look at 
how it works I have to concatenate the N with px wide. This value permits 
one number to change the relationship using fluid story and fixed sidebar. 
I would like to see the number and units stored separately to allow such 
manipulation. There should be css values that the user can set and save 
including in a layout, to manipulate the whole layout. This would include 
locations for a left sidebar, or settings centred story etc ...

As we present custom layouts we should be incorporating hidden elements 
that can be made active by the wiki designer.

I am a strong believer that the layout should be a layer which can be 
replaced. Kind of making tiddlywiki and engine layer, a layout layer and a 
customised UI elements layer.
