I find it the exact opposite.  IE 6 in quirks mode renders any block
element with padding or a border at the wrong width because it's box
model violates the CSS standard.

If you remove the XML prologue and put it in standards mode it at
least renders block elements at their correct size.  If you add 10 px
to each side of a block element it *should* expand the box by 20 px.

IE is bad enough in standards mode and I can't imagine any reason to
try to cope with it in quirks mode.
