Ok, so it's supposed to stop IE6 from expanding the div to hold the 
photo, right? But I actually like this sometimes, and wish I could use 
display: table-cell on the div for other browsers to get them to do the 
same thing.

Hmm, I guess it wouldn't work for a page with a left sidebar, unless I 
change the source order so that the left column comes first in the 
source, which I don't want. I guess it's a good reminder why table 
layouts stunk: no control over source order, just cell after rigid cell. :-)
