While one container around everything makes it possible to center the page horizontally, two containers make it possible to center the page vertically as well. If we would go and change the structure once again, I'd even suggest the following:

-- center the page if desired

-- Help with fixed TOC

the toc

-- Help with fixed TOC All the rest of the content goes here

postamble

Having two boxes for the TOC would make the fixed TOC work in IE. In general, I prefere to use two kinds of Boxes: - one for positioning, floating and so on. This one should have _no_ padding or margin at all! - one for margin, padding, styling. I found, this is the only way to reliably enforce a layout across browsers. column-1 and column-2 are for that very reason. All we can do to put the TOC to the left or right is, to add margins to the body or the level 1 contents, and place it there. This is, what causes the problems with the fixed TOC in IE. `column-1' and `column-2' (and `postamble') make it possible, to adjust the layout in various common ways. The `percent-50' (oh what a name) and `wrap' are just there, to be able to center the whole page horizontally _and_ veritcally.
