Yep. I'd guess that 90% of the assumption errors I see people who are starting to do CSS make are things that work fine in IE. The subtractive box model, the use of align center, automative min-size div sizing. I still get hung up on stuff. Like it drives me crazy that vertical-align: center is only supposed to apply to inline elements. Hell, the whole centering model is just stupid.
