Well, what you defined as "style" I indeed see as a part of "layout". Yet
"alyout" is a bit more.  Like spaces betwene paragraphs and such.  Let me
roughly define "layout" as "style" and "format" in the sense as these two
words are used i.e. in word processing applications.  However, this is not
exact enough (see below).

Yes, whereas I follow the authors of the HTML specification in the
separation of "structure" and what they call "presentation" in some
locations.  Or back to simplicity of the definition:  Everything that you
can put in a CSS file I consider "layout", and everything that you put into
an HTML file **minus** the things that are already have in the CSS file are
"structure".
