One of the many negative results caused by 'hasLayout'. The combination
of 'auto-expansion' and 'width-calculation' bugs in that browser, makes
adding 'hasLayout' on a self-adjusting element pretty unreliable.

To stabilize IE6, add...
* html .zenoCOFooter {float: left; width: 95%; margin-right: -99%;}
* html #zenoMFMiddle {overflow-x: hidden;}
...but this is just a stabilizer, since IE6 still can't control width
and expansion properly.
IE7 is "over-fixed" (by default) already, so I would try to avoid
"double-fixing" that bugger - unless you throw it back into quirks mode
and feed it IE5/win corrections.
Many of us get all browsers in line by using variants of the 'negative
margins'[1] solution. That's one of the few layout-solutions that IE/win
can't easily break out of, and when it does it's easy to fix.
