No, you're right about the combination of height and min-height, but I 
was merely referring to each of those properties when used independently 
(which they usually are, or should be most of the time). So, IE will 
treat a div with "height: 500px;" the same as other browsers treat a div 
with "min-height: 500px;". It treats height exactly like min-height. But 
yes, if you start combining properties, you can't always get IE to 
emulate what better browsers will do.

No shame, but I would appreciate the backup on my mission. ;-)
