wow... i don't think i could have been any more thorough with a week's research time...
but to bolster jeff's point(s):
Real-World Browser Size Stats, Part I

Real-World Browser Size Stats, Part II
http://www.evolt.org/index.cfm?menu=8&cid=2297
i mention these because you can download the logs i made tracking users' screen res and
window sizes, as well as see the JS i used to get the values...
the numbers alone may prove useful... after all, at what point is 100% of the height or width so
much that your design is way too small... or so little that your design doesn't fit?
and jeff, why not add your commentary to my article as a comment so that people are aware
of the caveats to my methodology for capturing that data... your comments are too useful to
keep just here...
