In the 'els per row' example, there is symmetry related to the 
"correct" (hard to mess up that math) solution. In all other grids, 
including grid spec, there is no symmetry related to the correct 
solution.

I understand what grid spec is doing, and it's definitely easier to 
reason about... but is it right?

Grids were invented to derive functional beauty from math.

Grid spec and *all* grids don't seem as beautiful as the symmetrical 
solution.

I want to embrace grid spec when it lands (dat markup), but this seems
 more important to the designer in me. If it is agreed upon that it's 
broken, I'm sorry I didn't notice the general problem sooner.

Anxious to hear everyone's thoughts on this...
