I catch your drift now Quim, I think this is a matter of taste, I do
agree that this way of doing it gives you more space for content quite
naturally. I am quite a fan of side-bars though I think they are more
user friendly, but that's just a personal opinion. Anyone else have any
input so we can come to a decision on which way to go for the position
of this component. If we do adopt this method the breadcrumb component
would be harder to implement, and would be dropped in my opinion.
