There are no box model problems in that, and most, layouts, with added
top and bottom margins, simply because there's no height declared.

Most box model problems we run into are the result of _side-paddings_ on
elements with a declared width (in whatever unit), where the differences
between Quirks and Standard mode can "ruin" any design.
