Right now, I simply set <body>'s width to 38rem and that's it. This approach creates problems for outsetting, i.e. situations where I want things to "stick out" on the sides. An example of this is img.bleed, where I calculate negative margins:
An alternative approach, used by Medium, is to differentiate between "inset" and "outset" columns. "Inset columns" have their width fixed and margins set to auto; the "outset columns" span the whole viewport width and, thus, can make some use of extra space.
It's tiring to constantly wrap my paragraphs in <div class="outsetColumn">, though. Hakyll should do this for me. It could walk through the document, split it in runs of HTML and non-HTML, and wrap non-HTML in aforementioned <div>.
