So if you start with known-good HTML with correct formatting, then you can just check that tag structure and those CSS rules against any HTML generated in the future.  To me, that seems like a far easier route than trying to rig up something to check pixel widths.

Well, sort of. Yes, certainly easier, but no thanks to CSS and changes in WebKit, it isn't a guarantee.

Mind, I'm not convinced at all that testing beyond ensuring well-formed HTML is even justified, and just getting to that point would be a huge improvement over what we have now.
