Just yesterday I was in a meeting and the person next to me asked me to check his page written with bootstrap (Twitter). See this page: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ ( resize it to X-small x Y-any and see ). Toolkit vendors are usually surfacing these problems and some modern of them won't do UA-based (as opposite to a huge number of online articles recommending users to do UA-based detection as a means to *even* try to assert screen size! — which is now, as said, not a reality anymore.) Plus it seems that things like CSS 3 Grid template would also do as a solution in this area; perhaps to surface the metaphor of a "semantic resize" — when screen is small, the arrangement not always will fit the DOM order so it seems that a kind of template-based modification is going to happen here.
