I recommend "avoid hacks if you can - apply only those you understand if
you must".

It's _all_ IE6' fault :-)

Add...

#menu {display: inline;}

...to fix the 'margin-doubling on floats'[1] bug in IE6.

Then add...

* html #container {overflow-x: hidden;}

...to make IE6 trim back the last few pixels caused by its
'auto-expansion'[2] bug.


While you're at it ... it might also be a good idea to fix IE/win's 'em
font-resizing'[3] bug.

Adding...

html {font-size: 100%;}

...will do.
