Should have commented it.
It is a hack to fix IE/win's 'margin-doubling on floats' bug. Without
this hack IE6 and older win-versions will make the 29px right margin
twice as big - 58px, and ruin the entire line-up.
This hack doesn't disturb other browsers because a float is a
block-element which can't be turned into an inline-element. That's why
we usually don't feed this hack to IE/win only, but leave it "in the open".
It would otherwise make sense to create a new style with something like...
* html #sidebar {display: inline;}
...and place it after the normal styles for #sidebar. I've seen cases
where such a separation was necessary, but not in this case.
