Here's an update anyhoo. 

I can't find a good way to have both:
A) change something in one place only
B) have middle content appear before floated columns in the document
structure

Some folks get pretty excited about B, quoting SEO needs and also that
it's nice for screen readers not to have to read the sidebars first etc.
However, I haven't seen anything that allows us to have the main content
area resize itself gracefully while only changing the width of the
parent page container. That is possible if the sidebars are first though
because then one can use the floated-columns margined-middle technique
without lots of jiggery pokery. I dunno which compromise seems best for
coder use. 

The best method for that that I've seen using the jiggery pokery is that
used by the Drupal Zen theme, ( technique called "body politic" which I
believe comes originally from the positioniseverything site). This works
great, but the way you size your columns and middle content is quite
confusing to a new user and requires a bunch of interlocking arithmetic
on widths between the sidebars and the page and the main content.

Feedback appreciated.
