I kinda thought so :) I always wondered where you got the number 10 from ...

Great point! Thing is that unexpected behavior occurs when the theme does not support the columns defined as well. Perhaps the best route would be to work out css that would be generated by core and added to the styles already printed. This could take the burden completely off of the theme author while respecting the users wishes.
