those are non-issues imho, no need to discuss that if it fixes the problem :D

But what is not yet possible with that technique is that the content gets wider
after the end of the right boxes.
You did that in your proposal.
Should we ignore that?
I'd not have a big problem with moving up the html of the quickboxes - if there
is no other way to do that.

hmm... I cleaned up that already a bit - I think the html is not that bad.
Css paddings can be improved.

Oh, and I pulled on http://preview3.vivid-planet.com/, that's the
