Looks pretty interesting, I'm going to try it soon .

Definitely an interesting approach, and worth further study. I wonder if it will catch on?

I believe that studying things like this are always useful, because even if we don't end up doing our layouts this way, it is nice to have more tools, as well as a deeper understanding of positioning.

I totally agree We can always use another approach, especially for complex layouts. ALA has a pretty wide following, my bet is it'll catch on in some sectors of those that follow ALA.
