I wouldn't counsel against it. It is a good idea. But I would
probably skip absolute positioning of objects in favor of a few
columns and floating left or right with some wrapping the text. I
prefer fixed width for the columns, it allows you the "similar look"
thing that variable width does not offer as well, but it still allows
for some flexibility with the user using different fonts or font
sizes. YMMV
I think you have to remember that MOST people will see it the way it
looks in either IE or FireFox with all the default settings. This is
how most people have their browsers set up. They use the defaults. I
have only anticdotal evidence, but do your own reasearch and you will
probably come to the same conclusion.
And of course, there are a few for what ever reason that it will not
look like you want it to. That is just a fact of the web.
