I agree with ya toastie...
It's great to try and push the envelope, but that is going to become increasingly hard to do.
Kona..name me one site that is doing that now, that is mainstream. You can't. ESPN is the only one coming close to using that extra space and they do it with screen res testing.
It's only gonna get tougher to push the envelope. If IE becomes an upgrade only when you upgrade Windows we'll be designing for a browser that change every 4-6 years.
Know thy audience. I'm all for pushing standards and making logical design changes, but that doesn't mean we can do something and desregard a large segment of viewers.
And doing that is a childish stance. Trying to force people into a new Flash player, higher res, or a larger download needs to be thought out well and you definitely need to know the impact on your financials, viewership, and production time/costs.
