That’s pretty interesting. I might have a play around with this idea at the weekend.

I would hasten to add, this method really comes into it’s own when you utilise semantic naming techniques (use #secondaryContent instead of #rightColumn)…

Swapping core elements around becomes really easy. For instance, if you want subnavigation on the right hand side on one page but on the left hand side in another.

Like I said: Ace!
