The "CSS box model" mandates
that all residents of the web should live
in boxes. Were the web solely comprised of the very old fashioned
HTML(4 or 5.

*)
and its view that semantics, presentation and behavior can
all be
neatly separated, this would be fine. But there is also SVG, something
so much more powerful and expressive (despite the best efforts of some
to keep it down) and in it, rightfully, as per the history and
prehistory of human thought and communication, geometry and behavior are
all part of semantics. Fie on thee, neophobic luddites of the HTML
world!
Layout
Parisien allows for the simplified control of a set of lines that
determine a geometry into which semantic elements (textual or
graphical) may flow and from which more expressive fonts may be
designed and modified!
Why Paris?
What
a silly question?
