    In defense of what I suggested... everything but the final content
    should be a container (NOTE: this is an intentional exageration).

    If you take that approach, you can do almost whatever you want with the
    content (think gtk+ where almost everything is a container, so you can
    have a whole window as the content of a gtkbutton, for instance).

    Why not have columns within columns? I see that everyday in newspapers!
    Most specially, columns crossing more than one column!
