My limited experience using CSS has shown me that it is very complex. It is probably difficult to coordinate a script that detects monitor size (screen resolution), and that then sets a width for content space based on the screen resolution.

Wider content space for wider monitors. Ending at around 1100 to 1200 pixels wide.

Flexible width as we have now is fine until the monitor is too wide for easy reading of text. So fixed width is offered as a solution. But it has to be more sophisticated than a single, one-size-fits-all, fixed-width. Simple fixed-width may seem easier, but big blog sites offer a variety of fixed and flexible-width options. Personalization is a good thing. Let each wiki choose the width range of its content space. Up to a certain width limit maybe. A range is doable, I believe.
