When trying to make floats with percentage-width declared line up
flawless in IE, you have to counteract IE's calculation-errors one way
or another.
50% + 50% isn't always exactly 100% ... you can expect 100% +/-1px,
which of course makes the line-up quite unstable.

With line-ups like yours the easiest solution is to pull in the
backside-margin on the last float, so the actual width becomes less than
the visual width...

That'll provide IE with some invisible bug-space for its
calculation-errors, and stability is assured.
