In that case, I'm not sure how you would ensure that your content would
fit properly in an area restricted by both width and height - it might
be possible if the content was short and if all of your dimensions were
set in EMs, but that would create issues if the user resized the text,
etc. I really don't think the benefits of having a content area
constrained by the "golden ratio" would be worth dealing with the
numerous issues you'd have to fight with in order to make it work.
