Seems little point having it so _nearly_ the same size.

Just Google "Powered."?

And I strongly prefer the 'reading bit' on the left and the columns on the
right,
for the reasons already explained - 'auto-eye-flyback' to the left margin.
Chinese/Arabic readers may have different eye programming ;-)

Indeed - the Eu Regulators would achieve much more if they insisted
that Microsoft IE conformed to the standard than separating it.
As a result, most of use need IE6 to read MS pages, and another
like Firefox that works properly for the rest :-((

(The work involved would be a much bigger 'fine' than
any imposed so far for unfair commercial practices).
