This can allow some fluid design for most resolutions up to a specific width (I usually us max-width of 1024px). This covers the majority of screen resolutions from the visitors to the sites I work on.
I'm with you. I don't think fluid design without restriction is a good idea. It's important to keep line lengths at a reasonable width for easy reading. Readers should be able to see the entire line length in a comfortable range that their eyes can follow.

I like max-width and am interested in your tricks to get around the IE problem.
