There's a big difference to that and to what I'm proposing. With what's 
in bug 80713 you're still limited to a box that basically doesn't take 
part of the outer page at all. For example in the table example in my 
original post the headers of the table would not resize to fit the 
column sizes in the <include>ed table.
