Many web page designers come from a graphic design background. They mostly learned to design magazine pages, brochures, etc., where they don't plan for someone resizing their work. They know how to make things look prominent, how to show that two items relate, etc., assuming that nobody doinks around with the page layout. So now your chapter points out that people want to resize the "content window", which necessarily doinks with the layout. The "solutions" part of the chapter would be stronger if it specifically called out how to solve the content coherence problems in a variable-width window that don't come up with a fixed-width window.
