there is definitely a need for this, but I wouldnt necessarily approach it that way. For example, jQuery UI does have widgits that are resizable to a grid, however its a pixel resize sort of thing. This isnt so bad if you dont mind dealing with absolutely positioned content, but it gets very messy very fast if you wanted an 'editor'. I think if we could get a plugin that does this independently of bootstrap, and works sanely when you think about things floating and moving around in a browser, think draggable/portlets, then you'd have definitely found a new holy grail. However portlets require certain source expectations as well, and it's just not setup for a grid. Anyway, there are many expensive enterprise CMSes that don't even have this for their author views for content pieces, and it would be a huge feature I think.

An approach I'd like to try is allowing the template designer to expose a certain amount of grid changing freedom. I'd also like to experiment with content types that have a render method parameterised by width (and possibly height).
