As I've said in one of previous messages, text will be 
left-aligned, there is no way I would make it centered. I was 
talking about layout alignment.

I was talking about max-width as a means to keep text readable, 
as 300 characters per line is really too hard to read.

It seems I'll have to implement this design proposal in HTML/CSS 
to be able to better communicate design decisions.
