I think that with large screens becoming more available, it is not a bad idea to provide a way to create text layouts that go beyond the single column of text (making text lines longer hurts legibility). We already have CSS3 text columns, but this proposal seems more general.

  nice. But I fear we will still be doing float-based layouts in a long, long time.

    long, long time is well defined: IE7 being still relevant. (IE8 has support for display: table-* properties, so it gets much easier).
