This is the approach I've been using for awhile. Scale up to 1280px and down to 1024.
Having said that I don't see any reason the gutters should be variable width. You can easily have fixed width gutter by adding an additional div inside each column.
Another trick I like to use is to have one area remain fixed width while making the rest liquid. You can do this by using the negative margins trick described by A List Apart a few years back.

For a lot of sites one size isn't flexible enough, especially when you consider different devices. It's more hassle for everyone but I think scaleable designs like http://www.informationarchitects… (try changing the browser width) are only going to become more common.

The 1140 grid fits perfectly into a 1280 monitor. On smaller monitors it becomes fluid and adapts to the width of the browser.

Any thoughts on the grid for 2011?
I am feeling like 960px is too constrained for large monitors and like the idea of 1140px and the ability to best utilize 80% of all monitors screen real estate.
