I really dislike this idea. Layouting anything trough a webinterface is just, 
well, cr at p. 
Something like this should be done with CSS. And changing any CSS will break 
the webinterface. And changing any weight in the webinterface will break your 
CSS.

I know, I know, there are people that dont know CSS, but they will only be 
more frustrated if the weighting breaks the layout they had in mind. 

Besides all this, we can already weight any block in any region. Son 
introducing this, would give us a weighting in a weighting, on top of a CSS 
layout. Rather complex, and IMHO impossible to make a proper UI for.

My advice: provide some nice style.css files that change the layout (which is 
not the same as the design),
