What I mean is, the number of designs where using e.g. a grid layout 
which breaks incremental rendering is limited (after all, look at all 
the current CSS-based web pages, and those aren’t even using 
display:table and absolute positioning), and other methods should be 
tried first :).

<separator />

By the way, I wonder how the grid layout is insufficient. Your approach 
seemed to be just reordering of the document structure (or I must look 
better). The grid layout works based on a layout you want to achieve. It 
is indeed a different perspective, but it can do the same, and I think 
the grid one is more appropriate to CSS?
