Building a three or four column layout on the web without the help of a table can be a difficult task. There are a number of ways to overcome the lack of multi-column support in CSS and none of them is very pretty. The three-column layout is the easiest to achieve without stepping outside the semantic boundaries, so we'll start there.

Fixed width, columns as tall as needed... hum. How's that pushing anything?

I agree. There is nothing being 'pushed.' But, I never thought about using right and left margin on the center column. I would also say that it is not exactly semantic either because the nav and sidebar columns are first in the document with the actual content being presented last. A screen reader and search engine will have to muck through the navigation and sidebar to get to the actual content.
