Retire the 800 Table Rule

I've thought 'bout this and IMHO I've have come to the decision that its probably not a good idea. Mainly I think if you give WM's the extra real estate they'll just overstuff it full of crap tending to make their already marginal sites horrible. Its good discipline to design sites that can resize themselves well. Also, even though your stats may suggest a 1024 preference it doesn't speak to a surfers appreciation for the 800px standard when they want to run multiple windows on their screen. Finally, I can see sites actually getting smaller in the future rather than bigger as content is designed for the smaller screen size of wireless devices.
