RE: web page layout standards

The mechanics of layout (ie, page dimensions, placement of navigation,
colours, typography etc.) is, IMHO, the realm of www-style@w3.org (CSS and
it's partners)

Graphic designers will always go for "what's fashionable", because that's
their job :o)

IMHO, HTML should be purely for structured mark-up, with CSS taking over on
the presentational elements...

Has there been a discussion about standards for web page layout?. ie, page 
dimensions, placement of navigation, colors, typography etc.

Or will the top desingers dictate layout like the fashion industry dictates 
what the current fad is.

(Is this the right list to ask this question?)
