....not really, because currently there is no such thing as a liquid
site. There's liquid text and basic image elements, but that's it.
If you were to go to a "liquid" site right now you'd wind up looking
at a site with iddy bitty tiny images with the page stretched out
REALLY far and you'd lose the 800x600 72 character line length
standard (I forget how the measurement translates in higher
resolutions). Really the idea is that everything should just be
bigger on a higher resolution so you're seeing the site exactly the
way it was intended to be seen. The problem with using 1920x1200 as a
standard base is pretty obvious, starting images off at that size
would result in rather enormous file sizes. Although in 5 to 10 years
I'll probably be using it.
