Hi again Amy
Fascinating stuff, I must take a closer look sometime. :)
It really doesn't look as if it presents any complex layout problems in
terms of the approach that's been discussed. CSS-based approaches to 2
and 3 column layouts are widely covered in online docs and tutorials,
particularly relating to blogging software like Wordpress (e.g.
http://addictedtonew.com/archives/60/how-to-nail-a-sexy-layout/), and
mostly revolve around this kind of structure:
<html>
<head><title/></head>
<body>
<div id="outer">
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="content">
<div id="content-side"></div>
<div id="content-main"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
So you'd only need to tweak your XSLT to output <div>s instead of HTML
documents, apart from the frameset template, which will probably look a
lot like the skeleton example above. Then get busy with the CSS...!
All the best
