Hello Ilya - Thank you for the response.

We currently manage our resizing and content "stretching" by running javascript resize functions when the page loads or is resized.  We do this the common way getting the viewport size, and other components on the page with a predefined height, then setting the content to the amount of vertical space left over.  I was hoping to eliminate having to do this with these new semantic layout components.

I remember about 3 years ago when I was looking at a few different component libraries on my way to selecting Richfaces for our application.  I seem to remember that the Backbase library had a very simple way to stretch page content vertically to 100% by simply providing a couple of attributes.  Its been a while, and my memory may be rusty, but that's the impression I was left with.  I thought maybe there would be a "best practice" based on these RF page layout components that would provide the vertical "scaling" I need without having to write resizing javascript.  In fact, this is really the only reason right now I would consider modifying our pages - only if I could get the layout to scale to the full size of the viewport without the need for javascript resizing.

I'm sorry if I missed the spirit of your response, but it sounds like you are saying that these layout components are not designed to easily accomplish what I want to do.
