It'll still have a width on my screen :P.
(Note I didn't say anything about a width *property*, just the width of 
the page. You know, the English word "width"?)

Very true. A portable document format (i.e. html) has no business 
specifying stuff in pixels.
*If* a width needs to be set, set it in ems. (Long paragraphs can get 
hard to read if the text is full-width)

This was pretty much what I meant to say. (I couldn't remember the name 
for the proper unit though)
