Can I please point out (if just for my own personal feeling of
self-justification), that no, it isn't always appropriate to do this?

On ultra-portable netbooks (like my Eee) and on mobile phones, this
sort of approach can make navigation impossible.

If you could guarantee that full-blown machines would be all  that was
ever used, maybe. But this is simply not true. Plus the dot pitch is
different, which can really screw up some layouts.
