For something that's based on opinion, shouldn't we then start looking 
at other qualities?

For example, the above comment by Joshua "A fixed width site is much 
easier to maintain" seems to be accurate for one of the most important 
points for the web team.

We don't have copious amounts of time to tweak stuff, so taking the 
lower-maintenance approach would be a better idea wouldn't it?

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
