* reason to limit on text pages:
  avoid excessive long lines
* reason to limit on other pages:
  have a consistent design on every IPOL page

The limited width worked for most demos, so I thought it was better to
have the max-width everywhere. Archive pages are nor organized
vertically, so the width was extended for these pages. You can decide
to override it in your demo too, if you think it makes sense for
everyone, on small/large/wide screens. You can wrap your demo content
in a <div style="width:..."></div>, or incert a css rule to redefine
#content{max-width}.

(I bounce the thread to discuss at ipol, for info)
