For the third time just today (see comments 5 and 12 on your blog post), take a look at the responsive UI demos I’ve mentioned here on this list and demoed for the CSSWG. I think mobile UI is more relevant to the current web platform than running headers and footers (though I expect browsers will get to those too). The first [1] is a version of the ‘breaking news’ use case we’ve had on the use case wiki page for years. As the screen size narrows, UI elements are collected into a named flow and placed in a slide-out menu. The second [2] is a relatively new case that I think of as custom overflow. In this case, as the screen size narrows overflow items in a nav bar move to a second region nested in a popup menu.
