I doubt it's ever coming but to really separate layout from content requires the layout tree and the content to be separate trees. Right now there's effectively only 1 tree, the DOM and CSS for the most part is just meta data on t

Wow, never heard of this. My experience has been the exact opposite. Even though I've built tons of Ikea furniture I've always considered it disposable. Most of it is not made to last a single move. Some of them might survive if y
