Delete the 'clear: both;' on .TabbedPanels, as IE7 and older don't
support the CSS that keeps that 'clear' from clearing the sidebar.

"XHTML 1.0 Strict" is fine, but "XHTML 1.0 Transitional" won't trigger
quirks mode rendering in any browser.

See "Doctypes and their respective layout mode"...

Nothing has changed over the years.

Good. Pity the validators can only check syntax and basic rules, and not

Depends on conditions - what's to the left of a left-floating element.
Generally: check to see if the "doubling of margins on floats" bug
appears before adding fixes for it, to avoid triggering other bugs.

IE7 and 6 will 'clear' it anyway - see above.
