of course, this all depends on what you want. if you want your page to
fall where it may, sure, go ahead. but usually, at least in my
experience with big account clients, precision is of utmost importance,
especially if you're working off an approved comp. be lazy if you'd
like, but that fine attention to detail is usually what separates the
great from the crap.
