There are so many things you can do so easily using full-up (X)HTML and CSS, but you run into lack of support -- or worse, outright bugs like this one -- in the world's most popular browser. I found a couple of links recently that sum it up: <a href="http://mezzoblue.com/archives/2004/02/25/sidesteppin/">Side-stepping IE (Mezzoblue)</a> and <a href="http://www.stopdesign.com/log/2004/01/26/ie_factor.html">The IE Factor (Stopdesign)</a>.

I just had to use the box model hack for my new AWoT redesign for this same reason. First I get all excited about standards-based design, and then I have to "enjoy" all the fun parts of the job that aren't actually standards compliant. Arg. Ah, the fun of IE.
