I couldn't find any quotes on that page. If you previously used <blockquote> for indenting text, you'll have to tell us what you've replaced it with.

3.4 Use relative rather than absolute units in markup language attribute values and style sheet property values. [Priority 2] |

There is one thing that worries me about elastic designs it quickly gives horizontal scrollbars which I don't like.
As I see it there is no point in having a site which can have big enough fonts if the user cannot read it unhindered because of his/her screensize settings gives it horizontal scrollbars.

A fully elastic layout has many of the disadvantages of a fixed-width layout. For maximum usability, it needs max-width (and usually min-width along with that). Of course, IE doesn't support those.
However, a fully elastic design will satisfy checkpoint 3.4.

. Is that a good argument for a design with a horizontal scrollbar and no or fixed width sidebars (if needed). What do you think?_________________

it is a shame that IE does not support max-width because it would make everything so much easier
From a typographic point of view it would be a blessing because you could have sites that would never have horizontal scrollbars but at the same time avoid too long text-lines, ah... in a perfect world...

I guess it is really always a jugment call, but when I recently re-did my site I had it in a elastic layout and it from a typographic/readability point of view I thought it created problems, but the idea is good since too short text lines can be equally hard to read as long lines so ...
