It doesn't.

How is this a bug? Technically it's a concession to web standards
since it only happens when the DTD is specified (which puts IE6
into a slightly less Microsoft-mode of operation). In terms of
cascading styles, the block element's alignment flows down into
the other elements *unless* you override it.

Not a bug.. it's more predictable, standardised behaviour.

People seem to think a bug is when your system does something
different to everything else - when in fact it is only when your
system is doing something wrong.

This behaviour in IE is not wrong, it's standards compliant, and
it's also easy to work around: don't mark your page with the DTD
which is a flag to all browsers that the page does follow that
standard.
