yes, that's the sort of repeating pattern that would work.

I'm wondering if people would just nest grids in that situation. It seems
more likely that you would know what the shape of the outer stuff was, and
could specify the tracks. Then have an inner which auto-filled to a regular
pattern.

I'm going to have a look at some of the common frameworks people are using
to do grid type layout currently, and see how those workflows map to Grid.
I think this auto issue is probably one I'll be working around a fair bit
though.
